The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – the next 16 days at Fano Sassonia are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up.
The water is sitting at a very unusual 84°F with a temperature anomaly 4°F much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s the only thing that’s above average around here.
We start on Tuesday, August 18th with nothing – zero energy. That sets the tone. Through the rest of the week and into the next, there’s barely a ripple. The combined swell energy never gets above 15 (weak) for the entire period. Most days show 0 energy. We’re talking about a gap of nearly two weeks where the surf is essentially flat.
Thursday morning, August 20th offers a tiny 0.7ft of ESE swell with a period of just 4 seconds and some light offshore wind. That’s clean, but it’s ankle-high at best. The combined energy is a measly 1 (weak). Not worth paddling out for.
The only real blip of interest comes on Tuesday, August 25th. The afternoon shows a 2ft swell from the N, period of 4 seconds, with a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy hits 15 (weak) – the highest in the whole forecast. Even then, it’s small and short-period, not doing much.
For the rest of the run, from August 26th all the way through to September 2nd, we’re looking at near-zero energy and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. Clean mornings are rare, and when they happen there’s no swell to ride.
This is a spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and right now it’s just not happening. A blank run like this is more normal for the area. Keep the board waxed and eyes on the forecast – it tends not to stay poor for long.
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.
