The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a real bummer for surfers. We're looking at a long, dry stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at a very unusual 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing worth noting.
The first real chance of any wave action doesn't show up until Tuesday the 11th of August, and even then, it's a major letdown. Fano Sassonia is the only break on the radar, and it's an inconsistent beginner spot. Unfortunately, the swell is tiny, the wind is onshore, and the overall energy is super weak (1). It's a flat, blown-out mess.
We'll see a smidge more energy mid-week, on Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th, with swell bumping up to 2ft to 3ft from the NE, but the wind is a mess – cross-shore or onshore – and the energy is still weak (25-55). The surf will be poor and choppy.
Friday the 14th morning offers a glimmer of hope with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW and a clean-looking surface, but the swell is a weak 2ft from the NE with low energy (19). It's barely worth a mention. The trend continues through the weekend and into the next week, with tiny waves, onshore winds, and very low energy readings. The 17th of August sees a tiny 1ft ENE swell with a 3-second period, but it's accompanied by an onshore breeze.
The second week is more of the same. From the 18th of August onward, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing. Small, short-period swells in the 0.3ft to 2ft range, mostly blown out by onshore or cross-onshore winds. The energy levels are negligible, often in the single digits. There's a clean morning with offshore winds on the 25th of August, but the swell is only 1ft. It's a classic case of a long, flat spell.
Honestly, there's nothing here for a surfer. The weather might be good for a swim, but the waves are a no-go. This kind of blank run is more normal for the area, so don't hold your breath. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, leave the board at home.
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.

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.
