The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty flat spell ahead. The first real surf recommendation doesn’t kick off until Thursday the 30th of July, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. There’s a big gap of quiet days, so don’t expect much action.

Thursday 30th July – Faria (beach and reef) gives us a little something in the morning. There’s a tiny 2 ft swell pushing in from the SSW, but here’s the catch: the period is a long 16 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell. That long period means the waves will have some shape and energy, but it also means longer lulls between sets. The combined energy is moderate (306). The wind is light and onshore, so it’ll be a bit soft. The water is a very unusual 69°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than average for this time of year. The afternoon turns cross-onshore with a bit more breeze, and the swell jumps to 3 ft but with poor conditions. The score is low, so it’s a marginal session for the die-hards. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are sometimes an issue.

Friday 31st July – Morning has a tiny 2 ft SSW swell, but the wind is onshore and the wave energy is light (241). Afternoon is more of the same, with cross-onshore wind. No real quality here.

Saturday 1st August – Another small day with a 2 ft W swell in the morning, but the period drops to a short 9 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. The energy is moderate (160). Afternoon goes cross-onshore again.

Sunday 2nd August – A 3 ft W swell in the morning, but with a weak 10-second period, and the energy drops to 178. Still poor conditions.

Monday 3rd August – The swell is fading now, down to 2 ft, and the energy is weak (105). The wind is still onshore or cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out.

From Tuesday 4th August through to Thursday 14th August, the swell stays tiny, ranging from 0.7 ft to 2 ft. The combined energy is mostly weak (under 100), with only a few afternoons showing moderate energy (103 to 174). The period jumps around a lot, with some long-period groundswells (15-20 seconds) in the second week, but they’re all too small to do anything with. The wind is mostly light and onshore or cross-onshore, so the surf is poor to marginal at best.

If there’s one standout, it’s the Thursday morning 30th July at Faria. That 2 ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period is the only time the wave energy and shape come together, even with the light onshore wind. The water is remarkably warm, which is a treat. But honestly, it’s a session for the dedicated.

The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for decent waves. This is a blank run, and it’s a bit of a tough spell for the area. The break is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay this way forever, but right now, you’re better off doing something else.

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.
