The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you how it’s looking for our little slice of the coast.
Right now, and for the whole 16-day run, there’s not a single good surf day on the cards for Farol. I’ve got the dope from Sunday, July 26th, all the way through to Monday, August 10th, and it’s a total whitewash. Every session is marked as poor surf conditions, with scores of zero. We’re stuck in a rut of cross-onshore and onshore winds, mostly from the E, ENE, and NE, blowing at 12 to 19 mph. That’s putting a chop on everything and ruining any chance of a clean wave.
The swell’s hanging around the 3 ft to 5 ft range, but with short periods of just 5 or 6 seconds, there’s no power or shape to it. The combined wave energy (57) is weak. It’s just messy, weak, and bumpy. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 82°, but that’s cold comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
There are no standouts, no hidden gems, nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you could try it, but you’ll be fighting a choppy sea and onshore wind for a weak, short-period wave. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind’s your thing.
This is just one of those blank runs for the area. It doesn’t usually stay this poor for long, but right now, the forecast is a stone-cold bust. Keep an eye on it, things can change.

Information about the Farol Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Farol provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Farol can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Farol 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 (Farol) 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 Farol 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.
