Table - best surf conditions forecast for Faria over the next 16 days.
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the menu for Faria over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a bummer for a while. We’re looking at a dry spell with barely a ripple for the bulk of the first week and a half. The water is sitting at 64.4°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth getting excited about for now.
The first real chance of anything rideable shows up much later, on the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. The combined swell energy hits a solid 471 (moderate to strong), with a 3.3 ft swell rolling in from the south. That’s a pretty long-period swell at 15 seconds, so it’ll have some proper grunt to it. Light winds from the WSW will be blowing offshore, which is a big positive for cleaning things up. It is a beach and reef setup, and a longer period swell like this can sometimes make a beach break close out, but with that size and offshore wind, there’s potential for a few lined-up runners for the experienced crew. The rest of the weekend is a write-off with the afternoon turning messy with cross-onshore winds and the same 3.3 ft swell dropping to a still-strong 442 for combined energy. Don’t expect a crowd at this one, but you might see a few locals about.
Before that Saturday window, there’s basically nothing. The whole forecast is plagued by "poor surf conditions" or tiny 1.0 ft to 1.6 ft swells with weak combined energy (often under 200) that aren’t worth paddling out for. From now through to the 25th, it’s a long stretch of flat to near-flat conditions. It won't stay this poor forever, but right now, you’re looking at a long wait. Your best and really your only standout is that Saturday the 25th morning window at Faria.
Stay patient.

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.
