The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what Faria’s got cookin’ for the next couple of weeks. Truth is, it’s pretty grim.
We start with a long stretch of nothing. From Monday, August 24th, through Thursday, August 27th, the waves are tiny—0.3 ft to 0.7 ft—with weak combined swell energy (105 to 251). Wind is onshore or cross-on, and the surf is just poor. Don’t bother.
Friday, August 28th, morning shows a faint possibility: a 0.4 ft SSW swell with a super long 19-second period. That’s groundswell, so it’ll have clean shape but long waits between sets. Combined energy is moderate at 280. Still, with light onshore wind, it’s only marginal.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th of August stay small, 0.7 ft, with moderate energy (320 to 351). Winds stay onshore or cross-on. Monday the 31st of August afternoon sees a bump to 1 ft from the west, but the period is a lousy 5 seconds—windswell junk—with energy at 219. Hard pass.
From Tuesday, September 1st, through Monday, September 8th, it’s the same story: waves 0.5 ft to 0.8 ft, mostly from the SSW or S, periods from 10 to 17 seconds. Combined energy is weak to moderate (130 to 333). Winds are mostly cross-on, and the surf is poor or marginal.
Faria’s a beach and reef break, fairly open to SW swell, and crowds can show up sometimes. Optimum direction is SW, so the angle is fine, but the size just never shows. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Bottom line: no good surf in this 16-day window. It’s a flat, boring stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total bust.
Stay patient,
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.
