The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Faria are looking pretty grim. There’s nothing on the cards that I’d call a proper surf session right now. The swell just isn’t showing up with any real push, and what little energy is around is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got a bit of a blank run starting now. For the first few days, from Sunday the 6th through to at least Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s basically a write-off. There’s a small pulse on Sunday morning with a 3ft south swell, period around 13 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (393). But the wind is onshore from the southwest at 3 mph, making it bumpy and messy. The surf is marginal at best, and the rating tells you it’s not worth paddling out. Sunday afternoon clears up a bit but the wind picks up to 6 mph, still onshore. Monday through Wednesday the swell drops off further, and the wind stays cross-onshore. The combined energy drops into the 100s, and by Wednesday morning it’s down to 158 – weak.
Thursday the 10th of September brings a tiny 2ft south-southwest swell, period 17 seconds, and light onshore wind. The energy is moderate (239), but the conditions are still poor. That long period suggests it’s a groundswell, but with such small size and onshore wind, it’s not doing anything for you.
From Friday the 11th through to the end of the second week, it’s more of the same. Swell stays between 1ft and 3ft, period varies from 6 seconds up to 19 seconds, but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy is mostly in the weak to moderate range (below 100 or in the 100s). There’s nothing that breaks the pattern. Even the longer period swells (16–19 seconds) are wasted because the size is tiny and the wind is wrong.
Faria is a beach and reef break, fairly exposed to swell from the southwest, and it’s fairly consistent normally. But this run is a true flat spell. There’s no standout day, no window where the wind and swell line up. If you’re a beginner, stay home – even the tiny stuff is messy. For anyone else, it’s not worth the drive. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
I’d say keep an eye on the charts, but honestly, this stretch looks like it’s going to stay poor. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
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.
