The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Fano Sassonia in real units. I’ve gotta be straight with you—this stretch of the next 16 days is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a big, flat gap right off the bat. There’s just no surf to speak of from now until the morning of the 10th of September, so that’s two days of flat calm to sit through. After that, it’s a long struggle for anything even close to decent.
The water’s currently sitting at a very unusual 82°F, which is 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a seriously warm bath. Don’t expect any wetsuit thickness out there.
The first whisper of a wave shows up Thursday morning, 10 September, but it’s tiny: a 1ft easterly dribble with a short 5-second period. The wind is offshore and it’s clean, but the energy is almost nothing (7). It’s just not worth paddling out for. That pattern of tiny, weak, short-period swell and often onshore winds just repeats day after day. The morning windows are usually the cleanest, with light offshore or variable winds, but the swell just isn’t there.
We get a slight bump on Tuesday morning, 15 September, with a 5ft swell from the NE, which is the biggest we see in the whole run. The period is still a weak 6 seconds, and the combined energy is 203—that’s moderate energy, but the wind is directly onshore at 6 mph, making it messy. The forecast only calls it “marginal” and scores it a 1. So while the height is there, the quality isn't. That’s about the only time the numbers get close to interesting, and even then, it’s a pass for me.
The best of a bad bunch might be Monday morning, 21 September. There’s a 5ft ENE swell with a 6-second period, moderate energy (181), and a light cross-offshore wind from the SSE at 6 mph. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s clean, and that’s about the best we can say. For a beginner spot like this, that 5ft is getting towards the top end of what’s comfortable, but with the poor quality, I’d still keep your expectations low.
Honestly, this whole 16-day window is a write-off. The reef needs a proper, longer-period groundswell from the right direction, and it's just not getting it. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" here, and with this outlook, you'll have the place to yourself. There’s nothing to recommend.
Stay patient, mate. It won’t stay this way forever.
Rusty.

Information about the Fano Sassonia Surf forecast

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.
