The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. Let's be real, for the next couple of weeks, Fano Sassonia is going to be a frustrating place to be a surfer. The forecast is almost completely flat, with only tiny, weak pulses of energy coming through. The water is sitting at a very warm 84°F, which is a full 5°F above the norm for this time of year – a real anomaly that makes it feel more like a swimming pool than the Adriatic.
We're looking at a long, dry spell starting now. The first bit of swell worth mentioning doesn't show up until the afternoon of Friday the 21st of August. You'll see a tiny 1ft bump from the ESE, but with a short period of 5 seconds, the combined energy is a measly 9. It's not going to do much. The wind is offshore from the SSW at 22 mph, which would be a good thing if there was any wave to hold up. It's a big "poor surf conditions" call.
Saturday the 22nd is even smaller, with a 1.0ft ESE swell in the morning under a light offshore. The energy drops to 5. By afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell is gone. The rest of August and the first week of September is a total write-off. From the 23rd through to the 31st, we see heights bouncing between nothing and a pathetic 2ft, with the combined energy rarely cracking 28. The wind is all over the place, but there's just no push from the ocean.
Things get a little confusing on the 24th of August. Monday morning brings a 2ft NNE swell, the biggest we'll see, with a period of 5 seconds giving us a combined energy of 28. The wind is light and cross-off from the WNW, cleaning things up. But the swell is still tiny and weak, and the consistency is listed as "inconsistent." It's a tease, not a session.
The spot is a beginner-level break, so you don't need much power, but you do need *something*. Because it's inconsistent, and this run of poor conditions is so long, I'd say it's a good time to check the forecast for the wind and maybe just go for a body surf. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those rare days when the wind is up and the water is flat.
There's a hint of a pulse around the 1st and 2nd of September, with a few 0.7ft readings under glassy conditions, but it's still "poor surf conditions." The reality is, there is no good option on the table in this 16-day window. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. You can't force it.

Information about the Fano Sassonia Surf forecast

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. 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.
