Fano Sassonia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Fano Sassonia over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty blank run here. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle for any kind of decent surf. The first handful of days have a few tiny bumps, but it’s all labelled as poor surf conditions, and the swell energy is just pitiful—barely hitting double digits at its best, like a weak 58 (combined energy) on Friday afternoon. That’s not gonna get anyone excited.

The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 28° with a 3° anomaly. That’s much warmer than normal, so if you’re just having a swim, it’s lovely, but for surfing? Nah.

Let’s walk through it. Wednesday the 22nd morning has a tiny 1ft NE windswell, 4-second period, with a light onshore breeze—not worth paddling for. That afternoon, a bit more height at 2ft, but still short period and onshore. No good. Thursday the 23rd is flat with zero swell, though the morning has clean offshore wind from the SSW—but no waves to ride. Friday the 24th morning goes glassy, but the swell is still only 2ft from the NE with a short 5-second period. The afternoon picks up to 3ft from the NE, but the wind swings onshore and gets choppy. Not the one.

Saturday the 25th is flat again in the morning, then a tiny 2ft ESE windswell in the afternoon but with a fresh 30 km/h cross-onshore wind making it lumpy. Sunday the 26th has a tiny 1ft ESE swell in the morning, clean with light offshore wind, but it’s basically nothing. The afternoon stays small at 2ft, cross-shore, not great.

The pattern continues through the rest of the week and into the next—tiny, short-period leftovers, or flat spells. The best you might see is Monday the 27th morning with a 2ft E swell, 7-second period, and clean cross-offshore wind, but the combined energy is only 28—weak. It’s the only half-decent-looking moment, but it’s still not a standout. Nothing here is.

After the 27th, it gets even worse. From the 28th of July right through to the 6th of August, we’re looking at days of flatness or tiny, near-meaningless bumps. There’s a long gap of no real recommendations. The swell just disappears. By the 6th of August, there’s a 1ft N swell with a 2-second period—that’s barely a ripple.

So, to be honest, there’s no best option here. Nothing stands out. If you’re desperate, the Monday morning of the 27th is likely the cleanest little wave, but it’s for beginners at best, and even then, it’s barely worth the walk. The setup is so small and weak that it might actually look more interesting for a kite session than a paddle, especially when the wind picks up later in the afternoons.

Hang in there, mates. This is one of those quiet runs for the area. It won’t stay poor forever, but for now, leave the boards in the car.

Rusty.
