The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are looking like a write-off for surf around Fano Sassonia. I’ve scanned the charts and there’s just nothing to get excited about. The water is sitting at 84°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only notable thing.
We kick off on Friday the 21st of August with a tiny 2 ft swell from the east, period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy (17) is weak. The wind is a light southerly cross-off, so the surface is clean, but the waves are ankle-snappers at best. That sets the tone for the whole run. Saturday and Sunday stay tiny, with swell under 2 ft, and even when the wind goes offshore or glassy, there’s just no push. The energy values are in the single digits all the way through the rest of August and into early September.
We hit a flat spell from Wednesday the 26th of August through Thursday the 3rd of September, with zero swell energy recorded for several days. The combined energy values are 0 or 1 – completely dead. There’s a brief uptick on Friday the 4th of September, with a north-northeast swell hitting 3 ft in the morning and 4 ft in the afternoon, period 5-6 seconds, and energy climbing to 62. But the wind is cross-on to onshore, so it’s messy and choppy. The surf quality is still rated as poor. Even the best of this run on Saturday the 5th of September sees a 3 ft north swell with a cross-off wind in the morning, but the period is just 4 seconds and the energy (37) is still weak. The waves are just not going to have any shape or power.
Honestly, this is a stretch where the paddle out is more about getting a tan than a wave. The setup is so small and weak that if you’ve got a kite, you might find it more interesting than a surfboard. For the rest of us, there’s nothing to chase. It’s just one of those blank runs for the area.
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.
