Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the Faria stretch. It's a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed to the southwest, and the best wind is a northeast offshore. This spot is a beginner-friendly wave, but don't get too excited because we are looking at a pretty quiet run for the next couple of weeks.
Right from the start, we're in a real slump. From Monday the 6th right through to the 15th of July, it's just poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly between 1.0ft and 2ft from the SSW, and the wind is nearly always on it or cross-onshore. The combined wave energy is moderate at best, hitting a high of 412 (moderate wave energy) on Wednesday morning the 8th, but it's still messy. Honestly, there's nothing worth paddling out for in that whole stretch. It's a blank run of about 10 days.
Now, on Thursday the 16th of July, things get a little interesting. The morning shows some hope. We've got a tiny 1.0ft swell from the SW, but the wind goes glassy. "Surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," they call it, scoring a 1 out of 10. The combined energy is weak at 67. It's not going to be epic, just a clean, tiny roller for a beginner to have a splash. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
After that brief moment, we slide back into poor surf again through the rest of the 16th and the 17th, with cross-onshore winds spoiling the tiny lumps. The 18th and 19th are similar—small swells, chop building up on the Saturday with a 12 mph cross-onshore breeze. The 20th of July sees the swell bump up a bit to 3ft from the S, but it's onshore and messy, still rated poor.
We don't have a single standout here, mate. The only tiny highlight is the glassy morning on July 16th, and even then, it's barely a wave. For an area like this, a long blank run isn't unusual, but it's frustrating. Honestly, this setup with the onshore winds and small swell looks like it's more for the kite surfers than us paddle folk for most of the period.
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.
