The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real. The next 16 days at Faria? It’s a bust. The data is all “poor surf conditions” – the wave comment says it all. We’re talking small, weak waves with onshore and cross-onshore winds the whole way. Not a good look.
Here’s the deal. Thursday the 10th kicks off with a tiny 0.6m SSW swell, 17-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore – right across the face. The combined wave energy is a moderate 218 – not enough to matter, and the wind ruins it. The water’s at 21°, which is 3° warmer than normal – real unusual, but it won’t save the waves.
Same story Friday the 11th through Sunday the 14th. Tiny 0.4m to 0.9m waves, mostly from the SW and W, periods dropping from 16 seconds to 10 seconds. Energy sits between 147 and 232 – moderate, but all messy. Wind is onshore or cross-onshore, all day. Saturday the 12th has a 0.4m SW swell, 14-second period, energy 147 – a little ripple with a breeze. Not worth getting wet.
The second week? No improvement. Monday the 15th through Friday the 25th, it’s the same grind. Wave heights under 0.6m, energy numbers in the 90s to 260s – still moderate, but the wind never lets up. A few days, like the 20th, the energy hits 266 (still moderate) with a 0.5m SW swell, 18-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore or onshore. The 25th has a 20-second period, 0.4m SW swell, energy 183 – long period, but tiny, and the wind is onshore. That long-period groundswell would be a dream at a point or reef, but at Faria, a beach and reef setup, it’ll just straighten out and be a mess.
No standout days. No swells over 5 feet, no clean offshore wind. The only break is Faria itself – a beginner-friendly beach and reef that’s “fairly consistent,” but that doesn’t help in junk conditions. The crowd is “sometimes” an issue, but with waves like these, it’ll be empty. For a surfer, it’s a total bust. The cross-onshore wind and small surf might make it interesting for kite surfing, but for paddle surfing, forget it. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long dry spell.

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.
