The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Fano Sassonia. I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch looks pretty bleak for paddling in. There’s a real dry spell on the horizon.
Looking over the whole 16-day window, we kick off Sunday the 23rd with a tiny 2ft swell from the NE and a period of just 4 seconds. That’s short-period windswill, not proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a weak (10). The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 84°F, a massive 6°F warmer than average for this time of year. That’s not just a little different, that’s really weird for us. The morning has glassy conditions with light NE winds at 3 mph, but the waves themselves are poor. The afternoon turns onshore and bumpy.
Monday the 24th is even worse – the swell drops to 0.7ft in the morning. The combined energy is a pathetic (1). We get a clean window with light W winds at 6 mph, but there’s just nothing to ride. That pretty much sets the tone for the rest of the week. From Tuesday the 25th right through to Sunday the 1st of September, we have multiple days of zero swell, with combined energy reading (0). There are a few moments of clean conditions – like Thursday the 27th morning with glass and light SE winds at 3 mph – but you’re just staring at flat water.
We finally see a slight bump on Wednesday the 2nd of September with a 2ft swell from the N and a period of 4 seconds, giving a combined energy of (16). It’s still not great, but it’s something. The morning is clean with NW winds at 6 mph, but the period is short so don’t expect much shape. Thursday the 3rd of September looks to be the best on offer, and even then it’s marginal. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the NNE with a period of 6 seconds, giving a combined energy of (75). That’s moderate energy, but still short-period. The morning looks clean with light NNW winds at 3 mph, which is a positive. But the swell direction is NE/NNE, which isn’t hitting the optimum ESE direction this spot wants. It’ll be a bit lumpy and unsurfable at the main takeoff.
After that, it fades again. Friday the 4th drops to 2ft and the following weekend goes flat again through to the end of the period on Monday the 7th. The entire second half of the outlook is a bust. There’s no standout here – the best session is Thursday the 3rd morning with that 3ft, but the quality is poor and the direction is off. For the most part, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer if you’ve got the gear, because the combined energy is low and the period is short, which means wind swell and not much for a paddle surfer to sink his rails into. It’s a blank run for Fano Sassonia.
Stay tuned, forecasts change, but for now, I’d leave the board 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.

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.
