Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and miles for you imperial heads. The surf outlook for Farol over the next 16 days? Plain and simple – nothing worth wetting a board. From Monday July 6th through Tuesday July 21st, every single session shows poor surf. That’s a solid blank period, which is a bit odd because Farol usually breaks pretty consistently.
Swell heights are running 3 to 5 feet, but it’s all short-period windswell – 5 to 6 seconds, maybe 7 on one morning. That kinda period gives you weak, lumpy lines. Winds are cross-onshore or onshore from the east and northeast, blowing 12 to 16 mph, sometimes a bit stronger. That means choppy, crumbly conditions. Afternoons are no better – onshore breeze every day. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (47 to 153), all junk. Water temp is a balmy 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal.
The optimum swell direction for Farol is north, but we’re getting east-northeast and northeast – not ideal. Offshore wind would be from the southwest, but we’re stuck with easterlies. Crowds are only sometimes an issue, but there’s nothing to draw a crowd here.
This kind of dead run is rare for a spot that’s fairly consistent, so don’t write it off entirely. Forecasts can change. For now, it’s a good time to clean your gear and wait.
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.
