Fano Sassonia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Fano Sassonia. I’ve been looking at the charts, and honestly, the next couple of weeks look pretty flat. This stretch of the Adriatic is known for going quiet, and this is one of those times. There’s a long gap of nothing decent before we even get a sniff of something rideable.

We start off with no surf to speak of right through the first week. From Wednesday the 9th all the way through to Sunday the 13th, it’s a total write-off – tiny wind slop, onshore junk, and zero energy. Forget it. That’s nearly a full week of nothing.

Then, finally, on Monday morning the 14th, we get a tiny window. The swell is a weak 3 ft from the NE with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 44 (weak). But, the wind goes glassy – dead calm, offshore from the west at 3 mph. That’s a major positive. It’ll be clean, but the waves will be small and gutless. This is beginner-level stuff, and the break is inconsistent, so don’t expect much. The water temp is about average for this time of year. After that, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the week.

The second week offers a glimmer. Sunday morning the 20th sees a bit of offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph, but the swell is mostly absent. Then on Sunday afternoon, we get a pulse: 4 ft from the NW, period 5 seconds, energy 80 (weak). Still weak, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole forecast. The wind is onshore, though, so it’ll be messy. The rest of the second week is a mix of tiny swells and poor wind, with nothing to get excited about.

The only standout, if you can call it that, is Monday morning the 14th. The glassy conditions at Fano Sassonia will make it look clean, even if the waves are tiny. For a total beginner, it might be a fun paddle. For anyone else, it’s not worth the drive. The best advice is to keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

Rusty.
