The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough one. We’ve got a 16-day window staring us down, and for the first week and a half, it’s a ghost town out there. The forecast for Fano Sassonia is flat, or close to it, with weak, short-period wind slop that just isn’t worth paddling for. The water is currently sitting at a very unusual 84°F – that’s 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a real head-scratcher. But warm water doesn’t mean good waves.
From Saturday 8th August right through to the morning of Wednesday 19th August, it’s a dead run. You’ll see a few tiny bumps here and there—1ft, 2ft, periods of 2 to 5 seconds—but all of it is blown out by onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy barely scratches double digits (39, 23, 12), which is basically nothing. There’s a string of mornings with a clean-looking offshore breeze from the WNW, but the swell is zero. It’s a cruel tease.
The first real sign of life comes on Thursday 20th August. The swell jumps to 6ft from the NNE, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 300 (moderate). But hold your horses—it’s coming in with onshore winds from the NNE at 19 mph, and later a cross-onshore. The conditions are described as poor. At that size, it’s going to be a choppy, lumpy mess, and not a beginner-friendly wave. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The one true standout, and the only window worth your time, is the morning of Friday 21st August. We’ve got a drop in swell to 5ft from the NNE, still a 6-second period, with combined energy of 146 (moderate). The magic is the wind: a light offshore breeze from the SW at 3 mph. The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but let’s be honest—that’s the best we’re getting. It’ll be clean and glassy for a few hours. The swell is still a bit short-period, so it won’t be a groundswell dream, but for a beginner spot like Fano Sassonia, it’s the only chance to get a few soft, rideable waves. Keep an eye on the tide and be there at dawn.
After that, it drops back to nothing for the rest of the 16 days. Blink and you’ll miss it.
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.
