The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a pretty grim stretch for Farol. The whole 16-day window is a total washout – a solid two-week gap with no real surf to get excited about. The wind is the main villain. It’s either a fresh onshore breeze from the NE at 19 mph, or a moderate cross-onshore from the E/ESE. That’s not doing us any favors. The swell is mostly short-period, wind-driven junk from the NE and ENE, which is exactly the wrong direction for this spot. Farol wants an N swell, and we’re getting the opposite. The wave energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (80) for most of the week, with a few afternoons just nudging into the moderate range, but it’s still just poor, choppy conditions.
The water’s sitting at 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but honestly, you’d be better off staying out of it.
There’s no standout. No hidden gem. This is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area when the wind and swell don’t align. The only faint glimmer might be the morning of September 19, where the swell hits 6 ft with a 7-second period and the energy hits 315, but it’s still cross-onshore with a fresh breeze from the NE. That’s just messy, not magic. Nothing here is worth chasing.
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.
