The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Fano Sassonia over the next couple of weeks is pretty bleak. We're looking at a long stretch of barely a ripple, so don't hold your breath.
The water is sitting at a toasty 84°, which is *much* warmer than normal for this time of year, a real anomaly.
For the first week and a half, from Wednesday the 12th right through to Wednesday the 26th of August, it's basically a write-off. We're talking tiny dribbles, mostly under 2 ft, with poor winds and next to no energy in the water. The combined swell energy is barely registering, often in single digits (like 4 or 6), which is weak to non-existent. You'll get the odd clean-looking morning, but with nothing to push in, it's just flat.
There's a glimmer, and I mean a tiny one, on the morning of Thursday, August 27th. We finally see a bump of 4 ft from the NNE, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is offshore from the SW, blowing clean, and the combined energy climbs to a moderate 113. This is the only surfable window in the whole 16-day run. It’s not going to be world-class, but for the first time in ages, there'll be something to ride. The afternoon looks set to get messy with a cross-shore wind and building chop, so hit it early.
Before that, a few mornings like Saturday the 23rd and Monday the 25th offer clean, glassy conditions with tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft waves. If you’re a beginner wanting to practice pop-ups in ankle-deep slop, it’s an option, but that’s about it. Given the overall lack of size and the beach setup, if the wind really cranks, it might be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle boarders.
So there you have it. A long dry spell, then one Thursday morning that *might* just deliver a few fun ones. Keep your eyes on that one, but don't bet the farm on it.

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.
