The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real here. The only spot with any data at all is Fano Sassonia, and to be honest, it’s a tough run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day outlook, but there are big gaps with hardly any surf to get excited about. There are days after day of nothing happening, from the 25th through the 4th of September, with long stretches where the combined swell energy sits at zero. That’s a lot of flat water.
Right now, water temp is sitting at 84°, which is 6° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so expect bathwater conditions and maybe some different marine life around.
For the first few days, from the 21st to the 24th of August, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells. Friday morning the 21st has the best of a bad lot: a 2ft easterly swell with a short 6-second period, and combined energy of just 17. It’s cross-off wind from the SSW at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean, but those waves won’t have any push. It’s a beginner-level spot anyway, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect much. The swell direction is ESE, but that tiny swell is coming from the E, so it’s not an ideal match.
Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are even smaller and mostly onshore or cross-off with no real quality. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is Friday morning the 28th of August. We get a brief moment of glassy conditions with the wind completely calm, and a tiny 0.7ft easterly swell with 4-second period. Combined energy is 1. It’s not going to be epic – it’s barely a ripple – but it’s the cleanest window we get. For something that inconsistent and small, it’s a novelty session at best.
Honestly, for most of this period, the waves are just too small and weak, and when there’s a bit more size, like the 3ft on the 29th, the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. That combo of poor surf quality and strong wind on a beach setup makes it look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s nothing here that I’d call a true standout. The best you can hope for is a clean, tiny wave on the 28th morning if you just want to get wet. But the rest of the window? It’s a flat spell, and with this spot being inconsistent, that’s pretty normal for the area. Forecasts can always change, but right now, leave the boards at home.

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.
