The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me put it in a way that makes sense without the meters. This whole stretch for Faria is a no-go. You'd be better off taking the boards off the roof.
The Outlook for Faria
Starting now, through the weekend, don't even look at the ocean. It's flat. The first blip on the radar is Sunday afternoon, the 9th of August. We're talking about a tiny 1ft SSW groundswell. The period is long at 15 seconds, but the energy is weak. The wind is a 9 mph Westerly, just messing up what little there is. The water is 70°, which is about 7° warmer than usual—remember, that's very unusual. Feels like a bath, but the surf is a total loss. Every single day in the log is stamped "poor surf conditions."
Monday (Aug 10th) and Tuesday (Aug 11th) offer nothing better. The swell barely crawls to 1ft. We get a moment on Tuesday morning with a ghost of a pulse at 0.7ft and a 19-second period, but there's no size. Through the week, the swell direction hangs from the SSW or SW. The period stays decent, between 14 and 18 seconds, but the wave heights never tip over 2ft. The combined energy tries to get going but it's all on tiny, messy surf. The wind is the killer here. It's always cross-on or onshore from the SW, WSW, or W. Nothing clean.
The second week is the same sad story. From Monday, August 18th to the end, it's tiny swell and poor conditions. There's one spike on Tuesday, August 19th, where the energy jumps, but it's for a 2ft SSW groundswell with wind on it again. On Tuesday afternoon, August 18th, there's a 4ft swell from the West, but it's a 6-second period—basically just bumpy ocean. For a beach-and-reef break like Faria, that condition is more for a kite than a surfboard.
It’s a real dry spell for a spot that usually has something to offer. This kind of blank run is part of the deal for this area. Forcasts change though. Right now, there are no standouts at all in this 16-day window for Faria.

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.
Faria is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Ventura. If you plan a vacation in Ventura County, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ventura. Ventura has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
