The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our local stretch.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a bit of a write-off for surfing around Fano Sassonia. There’s barely a pulse of real energy showing up. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead, with only tiny, weak swell pulses that won’t do much for a proper session. The water is unusually warm, sitting about 3° above the norm at 84°, which feels more like a bath than the ocean. That’s way off for this time of year.
The whole first week is a bust. From Tuesday the 11th right through to Monday the 17th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The combined energy is basically zero or single-digit values, and the few ripples that show up are under 3 ft with short periods of 2 to 6 seconds, plus most of the time the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore. Morning windows on Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th have a clean look with light breezes, but the swell is just too tiny and weak.
The only faint glimmer comes at the end of the second week. On Wednesday morning, August 20th, we get a glassy moment with a light southerly breeze. The swell from the ESE is only 0.7 ft with a 3-second period and combined energy of just 1 – that’s about as weak as it gets. If you’re desperate for a float, maybe, but it’s not surf.
Friday morning, August 21st, shows WNW winds at 9 mph, giving a clean cross-off breeze, and a tiny 1.0 ft ESE swell. Again, nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a blank run. It happens sometimes – the area just goes quiet for extended periods. Keep your eyes on the forecasts; things can change. But right now, I’d say leave the board in the car and enjoy the clear skies instead.
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.
