The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Faria over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one. We've got a long stretch of small, weak swell and messy wind. For the first four days, from Wednesday the 22nd right through to late Sunday the 26th, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny – mostly around 1ft to 2ft – and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and uninviting. The combined energy readings hover around 200 to 400 (moderate), but the quality just isn’t there. This is a beach and reef setup, and with that wind, it’s not doing anyone any favours.
Things start to look a little more promising from Monday morning, July 27th. The swell direction swings around to a consistent SSW, and we start seeing some better period – 18 to 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell potential. The wave heights are still small, only 2ft, but the energy is a solid 372 (moderate). The wind is light and variable, mostly onshore or light cross-on, but it’s not strong enough to ruin it. This is where the best chance of a clean, rideable wave shows up. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the best we’ve got for a few days.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is actually the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell, 13-second period, with a light onshore wind. The energy is 395 (moderate), and it’s the biggest, most consistent-looking spell in the whole forecast. The direction is right on the money for Faria’s optimum, which is SW. It’s still not huge, but it’s the cleanest, most promising session in the whole 16 days. The wind is light and onshore, so it’ll be glassy, but the swell is small enough that beginners could have a go. After that, it trails off into tiny, weak swells and we’re back to poor conditions.
For a bit of context on the water, the first morning we have a reading, it’s 69°F with a 6°F anomaly. That’s much warmer than usual for the time of year, which is a nice surprise for a paddle.
Overall, if you’re looking for a surf, the best bet is the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. It’s the most consistent, the swell is the biggest, and the wind is light. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real highlight in a pretty flat window.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts.
Rusty.

Information about the Faria Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Faria provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Faria can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Faria surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Faria) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Faria may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
