The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the outlook for Fano Sassonia, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough patch ahead. The setup here is exposed, and the swell is just not cooperating. The waves are small, weak, and the conditions are messy for the most part. We’re talking about a stretch where the combined energy of all swells directed here barely reaches double digits, and that’s when it’s not a flat zero (0-2). The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The first real chance to even get wet won’t be until Thursday, August 21, but even then, it’s a tough sell. Friday morning, August 21, we’ve got a 2 ft swell from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short, weak windswell, and the combined energy is only 15. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the south-southwest, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are just too small and gutless to get excited about. The rest of the week is more of the same – tiny, junky waves with onshore or cross-onshore winds ruining what little shape there is. Saturday and Sunday, August 22 and 23, are mostly onshore and choppy, with swell heights under 2 ft.
Then we hit a flat spell from August 26 afternoon through August 27, with zero energy. The exception is Tuesday morning, August 25, which is glassy and clean with a 2 ft northeast swell, but the period is only 4 seconds and combined energy is just 10. It’s a flat, weak day.
Looking further out, the second week is a desert. The last week of August and into September, the swell is pathetic – 0.3 ft to 1 ft, periods anywhere from 2 to 8 seconds, and combined energy almost always 1 or 2. There’s a glimmer on Friday morning, August 28, with a 1 ft east-southeast swell and a 5-second period, clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s still a poor surf day. The pattern is broken: after August 30, it’s mostly flat or tiny waves with onshore wind.
Bottom line: there’s nothing here that’s worth paddling out for. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the wind is mostly wrong. For a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, this is a long stretch of nothing. If you’re desperate, maybe the glassy Tuesday morning, August 25, but don’t expect much. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a skip. This is a place where flat spells are normal, so it’s not a surprise.
