The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long stretch ahead for Fano Sassonia, and honestly, it’s looking pretty quiet. For the next 16 days, the surf is flat or tiny, and the wind is often messy. There’s nothing here that I’d call a standout session, so don’t expect to be waxing up your step-up. Let’s break it down.
We start off on Wednesday, 12 August, with a tiny 1 foot NNE swell, but it’s got a short period of just 4 seconds and a cross-shore wind. The water is a warm 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice feeling if you’re just floating about, but for surfing? It’s poor. The combined energy is a weak 3, so there’s nothing to work with.
Thursday 13 August and Friday 14 August stay similar – waist-high or less, with onshore and cross-onshore winds. The swell direction is mostly NE, but the period stays short and the energy is low (27, 36, 18, 24). You’ll be fighting chop and bump. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday 15 August sees a tiny 1 foot swell with a light offshore wind in the morning, so the surface might look clean, but there’s no power – combined energy is just 4. It’s more of a flat spell with a bit of texture.
From Sunday 16 August right through to Wednesday 20 August, we’re looking at a big gap with no swell at all on most days. The combined energy reads 0 for many sessions. There’s an occasional 1 foot blip, but with a period of 2 seconds or onshore wind, it’s useless. The wind does swing offshore on a few mornings, but without any waves, that’s just a nice breeze.
Thursday 21 August brings a tiny 1 foot ESE swell with a 5-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off in the morning – clean, but barely a ripple. Combined energy of 5. Not enough for a proper ride.
Friday 22 August picks up a little: morning sees 2 feet from the north with a light offshore wind and clean conditions. Energy is 23. That’s the best looking window in the whole forecast, but it’s still small and short period. The afternoon jumps to 4 feet from the NNE with a 6-second period, but the wind goes onshore, so it’s messy and unrideable. That 4 feet is the biggest swell of the 16 days, but the wind ruins it.
After that, from Saturday 23 August to Tuesday 26 August, it’s back to tiny or flat conditions. Most days have combined energy below 6, and the wind is often cross-onshore or onshore. There’s a clean offshore morning on Sunday 23 August, but with only 1 feet, it’s barely a ripple.
Wednesday 27 August sees a 2 foot E swell, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it choppy, and energy is only 16.
Thursday 28 August is the last day – 1 feet from the NE with a cross-shore breeze, weak energy of 6.
To sum it up: there’s no standout surf in this 16-day window. The best chance is probably the morning of Friday 22 August, with 2 feet from the north and light offshore wind – but even that’s tiny. The rest is flat or blown out. If you’re a kiter, those afternoons with 4 feet and onshore wind might be more interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off. It’s a tough period for the area, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

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.
