Table - best surf conditions forecast for Farol over the next 16 days.
Right then, mate. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it's a pretty grim picture for the foreseeable future. The whole 16 days is a write-off for any sort of decent surf. We're looking at a solid run of poor conditions from Tuesday the 7th of July right through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, with not a single recommendation to get excited about.
The only spot on the radar is Farol. The water's sitting at a warm 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a nice thing for a swim, but it’s not gonna help the waves.
Right from the start on Tuesday morning, we've got a tiny 2ft swell from the ENE with a shockingly short period of just 5 seconds. That's just wind slop, and with a light cross-shore wind, it's already messy. The combined swell energy is a weak 35. It doesn't get any better. For the entire outlook, we're stuck with weak to moderate energy (between 25 and 159), with period barely scraping 6 seconds. The swell direction is mainly ENE, but the wind is a constant cross-on or onshore from the E, ESE, or NE, with speeds ranging from 9 mph up to a fresh 19 mph. This means every session is going to be choppy, bumpy, and basically unrideable. There's not a single window of clean, offshore breeze to be found.
Even the periods where the swell nudges up to 5ft on Sunday the 19th of July afternoon, the onshore wind is just going to smash it flat and messy. The wave comment across the board is "poor surf conditions" and that's the truth.
Honestly, with this constant onshore wind and the poor quality of the swell, it's looking more like a spot for the kite surfers, not for a bloke with a paddle in his hand. For the whole two weeks, there is nothing worth paddling out for. It's a tough run, but it happens. Forecasts change, but for now, keep the board in the bag.
Rusty.

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.
