The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Farol, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a grim run. There isn’t a single recommendation in the whole 16-day window. The surf is just not cooperating.
We’re looking at a solid two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for. The whole period from Monday, July 13th, right through to Tuesday, July 28th, is a write-off. The swell is hanging around a weak 3ft to 5ft, but the real killer is the wind. It’s locked in from the E and NE, which is directly onshore or cross-onshore for Farol. That’s blowing every bit of shape out of the water, leaving it choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the 60-130 range – not enough grunt to push through the onshore junk.
The water is sitting at 83°, which is about a couple of degrees warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch balmy, but that’s the only good news. On the bright side, Farol is rated as fairly consistent, so this kind of blank run is a bit of a rarity. The forecasts can always change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long. But for now, leave the boards in the car and save your energy. The best bet is to wait for a proper shift in the wind.
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.
