The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Fano Sassonia over the next couple of weeks is about as flat as a millpond. There’s no swell to get excited about, so if you’re looking for a proper surf, you’ll be waiting a while.
We’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead. From now through the 16 days, the wave energy is almost non-existent. The first real sign of any life appears on Tuesday morning, August 18th, with a tiny 2ft easterly swell, but the period is a meagre 4 seconds. The combined swell energy is a weak (9), so it’s just not worth the effort. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The pattern stays the same. On Thursday morning, August 20th, we get a 0.7ft easterly swell with a 4-second period and combined energy of just (1). Not a ripple worth paddling for. Friday morning, August 21st, sees a 1ft easterly swell, again with a 4-second period and combined energy of (3). It’s just not happening.
The wind on Tuesday morning is glassy, which is a bonus, but without any swell to push, it’s a flat calm. Later in the week, we get a bit of a bump on Tuesday afternoon, August 25th, with a 3ft northerly swell. The period is still short at 4 seconds, but the combined energy nudges up to (25). Still, the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s messy.
Thursday afternoon, August 27th, offers the biggest pulse of the period – a 3ft north-northeast swell with a 5-second period and combined energy of (38). The wind is onshore though, so the quality will be poor. For the experts among you, it’s still tiny and weak, so don’t get your hopes up.
The rest of the forecast is a series of tiny, short-period swells from the east and northeast, never exceeding 2ft. The wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, so even when there’s a ripple, it’s going to be choppy. The only stand-out might be Monday morning, August 31st, with a tiny 0.7ft north-northeast swell and a glassy offshore wind, but the combined energy is just (1). It’s a total non-event.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. The wave energy is negligible, the periods are short, and the wind is generally poor. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, it’s looking more like a kite surfing afternoon than a paddle session. Keep your board in the car and your eyes on the forecast – it can’t stay this quiet forever.

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.
