The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s be straight with you. This is one of those outlooks where the ocean just isn’t cooperating for the near future. The first solid chance of a wave won’t come for a while, so don’t get your hopes up for this week.
Right now, we’re looking at Fano Sassonia, and the situation is, well, flat and uninspiring for a long stretch. The water’s sitting at 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – you won’t need a wetsuit, that’s for sure.
We kick off on Sunday morning, 26 July. It’s clear skies, with a light 6 mph breeze out of the south, but the swell is tiny at 0.7 ft and coming from the ESE. The period is a short 4 seconds, and wave energy is almost nothing (1). This is a poor surf call, and it stays this way for days. The beach is exposed to that ESE swell, but it’s just not delivering.
That afternoon, things bump up slightly to 2 ft from the same ESE direction, period at 5 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to a weak 41. Still, with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-off wind, it’s surfable but very ordinary. Not worth rushing out.
Monday, 27 July, shows a little 2 ft swell from the E in the morning, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is a paltry 19. By the afternoon, the wind switches onshore from the NNE at 12 mph, making it messy. Poor conditions.
Tuesday morning, 28 July, offers a moment of calm with glassy conditions and an ESE wind at only 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0 ft. You could paddle a longboard around, but that’s it. Wave energy is just 7. Afternoon goes onshore again.
This pattern of tiny 0.3 ft to 1 ft swells, with cross-off or onshore winds, drags on through the rest of July and into early August. The finder data shows a long gap of days where the wave height is essentially zero (dashes for size). For a spot that’s already inconsistent and aimed at beginners, this is a real dry spell. From late July right up until the morning of Friday, 7 August, the surf is basically nil.
Now, here’s the one chance in this entire 16-day window. On Friday morning, 7 August, we finally get something to talk about. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy hits 240 (moderate energy), and the wind is light cross-off from the WNW at 6 mph. The data says “expect good surf conditions,” and this is your standout. This early morning session looks clean, with a decent sized NE swell hitting the beach. However, 5 ft is getting a bit punchy for beginners, so this is more for the intermediate crew. The afternoon sees that same 5 ft swell, but the wind swings onshore from the NE at 9 mph, which would mess it up.
After that, on the 8th of August, it drops back to 3 ft in the morning with clean conditions, but the energy is back down to 32. Then by the 9th of August, the wind picks up to 16 mph from the north, making it choppy and not worth it.
So, your one real highlight is that early morning of Friday, 7 August. The rest of the period is a long, flat, and frustrating wait. The setup is exposed, but the swells just aren’t coming through. For a beach break, with this much wind later on, it honestly looks more suited for kite surfing than a paddle session for most of this run.
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.
