The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down.
I’m calling it as I see it: the next 16 days, from Saturday July 25th all the way to Sunday August 9th, are a total washout for Farol. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. No exceptions. The swell is trying to show up, with the combined energy sitting in the moderate range – numbers like 40, 49, 102, 111, and even a few 145s later on – but the wind is the killer. It’s cross-on or onshore from the E, ESE, or NE, blowing at 12 to 19 mph, and that’s just tearing the surface apart. The swell period is a short 4 to 7 seconds, so there’s no power or shape to it. The water is 82°, which is a touch warmer than average, but that doesn’t help the waves.
The swell is coming from the ENE and NE, but the break needs it from the N to get clean. The crowds are only sometimes an issue, but with the wind being so bad, that doesn’t matter. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem in the forecast. It’s a blank run. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now, with the strong cross-shore winds. Best to wait this one out – forecasts can change, and it usually doesn’t stay this poor for long.
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.
