The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Fano Sassonia, it’s a real quiet stretch. The first few days are basically a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The only time the surf even looks remotely rideable arrives on Monday the 24th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.
The water is a standout though – it’s sitting at 84°F with a massive anomaly of 6°F, so way warmer than average for this time of year. That’s the one bright spot for comfort.
So, the best of a bad bunch is Monday morning, August 24th. The swell is small, only 3ft from the NNE, with a short period of 5 seconds. The wave energy is moderate at 56. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, which should keep things reasonably clean. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s also inconsistent, so don’t expect much. This is the only window where you’ll find anything surfable, but the conditions are pretty ordinary.
After that, Tuesday the 25th morning goes glassy, but the swell drops to just 1.0ft and the energy is almost nothing at 2. Not worth paddling out. Then we hit a long, dry gap from the 26th through the 4th of September, with only a few days showing tiny, poor-quality waves that won’t hold your interest. The second week is a total bust.
If you’re desperate, Monday morning is your only shot. Otherwise, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than trying to paddle out on a foamie. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this flat for long.
Rusty.

Information about the Fano Sassonia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Fano Sassonia provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fano Sassonia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fano Sassonia 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.

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 Fano Sassonia 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.
