Table - best surf conditions forecast for Farol over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you. Looking at the charts for the next 16 days, it's a bit of a tough stretch. We've got some swell rolling through, but the wind is just not cooperating. The energy is there, but it's almost always coming with a cross-onshore or onshore breeze, which is going to chop things up. The water temp is sitting around 83°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're getting frustrated.
Let's start with the first few days. Saturday the 11th through to Monday the 14th, we're looking at Farol, and honestly, it's a struggle. The swell is there, between 3ft and 5ft from the ENE and NE, but the wind is a solid 12-18 mph from the east and northeast, blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore. The energy is moderate, hitting 140 (moderate wave energy) on Sunday morning, but the conditions are just poor. It's going to be a choppy, bumpy mess.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th don't offer much relief. The swell drops a little, and the wind stays onshore. The energy is still weak to moderate, around 42 to 58 (weak wave energy), but the "poor surf conditions" tag is there again. The wind is just never letting it clean up.
We roll into the second week, and it's more of the same story. From Thursday the 17th through to Sunday the 26th, the swell is fairly consistent, with heights from 3ft to 5ft, mostly from the ENE. But the wind keeps blowing, with speeds of 12-18 mph from the ESE and NE. The wave energy is moderate, peaking at 150 (moderate wave energy) on the morning of Friday the 24th. However, every single session is marked as "poor surf conditions." The wind is cross-onshore or onshore, making it tough to find a clean face.
The best bet in this whole 16-day window is a very relative one. Look at the morning of Friday the 24th. The swell is 5ft from the ENE, with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy is at 150 (moderate wave energy). The wind is showing as a cross-shore from the ESE at 12 mph, which is the best wind state we're going to see. It's still a bit onshore, but it's the closest we'll get to something rideable. It's a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but it's the only sliver of hope.
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.
