The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here.
First off, let's call it like it is. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions and tiny waves, but there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. The water at Fano Sassonia is currently sitting at 84°F – that’s 6°F above normal for this time of year, so it’s much warmer than usual. Good for a swim, less good for the wave count.
We’re looking at a real dry spell from now until the 13th of August. There’s a small window on the morning of Thursday the 13th where we see a 3ft swell from the NNE, with a weak period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 102 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW, so it’ll be clean. The problem is the wave comment says "poor surf conditions," so it’s not going to be anything to write home about. After that, it goes flat again or just tiny windswell right through to the 20th of August.
Now, here’s the standout. Mark your calendar for Friday morning, 21st of August. This is the only real highlight in the whole 16-day window. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds, packing a combined energy of 937 (strong). The wind is glassy from the SSW, which is a massive plus. The wave comment says "expect very good surf conditions." That 8ft is solid, but it’s right on the edge of being too big for beginners – it’s really for the experienced crew. The short period (7 seconds) means it’ll be a bit bumpy and inconsistent, not a long-period groundswell. The morning looks like a winner, but by the afternoon the wind swings onshore from the ENE, ruining it.
Saturday the 22nd has a drop-off, with 4ft in the morning from the NE and a light offshore from the SW, keeping it clean. The energy is moderate at 111, but the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s a step down from Friday.
After that, Sunday the 23rd fades back to tiny, weak waves to finish the outlook.
So, to sum it up: the next two weeks are mostly a bust. The one and only true standout is the morning of Friday the 21st of August. If you’re keen, be there early. Otherwise, it’s a pretty quiet run.
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.
