The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again, but in feet and miles. This stretch for Fano Sassonia is a rough one—a whole lot of nothing for far too long. The first real possibility of waves doesn’t show up until the back half of the forecast period.
The water’s warm—a very unusual 84°F—but there’s no surf to enjoy it. The first week is a total bust. From now through the 23rd of August, you’re looking at tiny, weak swells that barely register—energy levels in the single digits (4) to low double digits (57) at best, and most of the time it’s flat with zero energy. Winds are messy, mostly cross-on or onshore, and the few cleaner moments on the 15th and 16th have no swell at all.
The only hint of life comes on Monday the 24th of August, with a 0.5m (about 2ft) swell from the east at a period of 6 seconds. That’s short-period windswell with about 15 units of energy. A light cross-off breeze will keep it clean, but it’s small—nothing to write home about.
Then on Tuesday the 25th of August, it gets real—but only for experienced surfers. The morning shows a 2.0m (about 7ft) swell from the northeast with a period of 7 seconds and a solid 418 units of energy. That’s moderate to strong energy, and the cross-off wind in the morning cleans it up nicely. By the afternoon, a fresh offshore breeze at 30 km/h (19 mph) kicks in, with the swell dropping to 1.5m (about 5ft). The period’s short, so it’ll be lumpy and a bit raw—better for stronger paddlers. Crowds at Fano Sassonia can show up sometimes, so expect a few others in the lineup.
That Tuesday the 25th is your only real window. The rest of the 16 days is flat, tiny, or messy. Tough stretch.
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. If you surf the same spot (Fano Sassonia) 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 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. 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.
