The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you—this stretch from August 19th through to September 3rd is a tough one for Fano Sassonia. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for proper surf. There’s barely a ripple to get excited about, and the energy readings are pitiful, with the highest combined energy hitting just 13 (weak) on the 23rd afternoon. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual, and it’s got that bathtub feel.
The first real chance for anything doesn’t show until Wednesday morning, August 19th, but it’s dead flat with zero energy and poor conditions. That’s the story for the whole first week: tiny bumps of 0.7ft to 1ft, mostly from the ESE or E, with periods barely scraping 4 to 5 seconds—short, weak windswell that won’t wrap in properly. The winds are variable, with some clean windows like glassy mornings on the 22nd and 25th, but there’s simply no swell to work with.
From the 24th to the 26th, it goes completely flat again—zero energy. Then on the 27th morning, we get a tiny 1.0ft from the E at 4 seconds, but the wind is cross-onshore from the ENE, so it’s messy. The 28th morning has a 0.7ft ESE swell with a glassy cross-offshore breeze, but again, it’s barely surfable. The 29th morning is clean but offers only 0.3ft from the NE—pretty much a lake.
Into the first week of September, the 1st morning has a 1.0ft ESE swell with a clean offshore from the WSW, but the combined energy is just 5 (weak). The best you’ll get is the 3rd morning—1.0ft from the NE at 4 seconds, clean cross-offshore breeze, but still only 3 energy. Honestly, this is a spot that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and now it’s offering nothing for paddle surfing. With the tiny swell, poor quality, and some strong winds like the 22 mph NNW on the 27th afternoon, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
There are no standouts here. The whole 16 days is a blank run, and that’s fairly normal for this area when the conditions line up like this. Keep an eye on the forecasts—things can change. But for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
