Fano Sassonia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the stretch ahead at Fano Sassonia. I've had a good look at the charts, and the 16-day window doesn't give us much to work with. It's a long, flat run.

For the first couple of days into July, we're seeing nothing worth paddling out for – tiny, short-period windswell with no energy at all, barely registering a combined swell energy of (12) on Friday morning. The winds are all onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little bump there is. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only notable thing happening.

The pattern stays grim. Swell drops to zero for long stretches. There's a brief, tiny spike of 1 ft from the east on Sunday afternoon (5th), but it's on a 3-second period and hammered by a 15 mph cross-onshore wind – that's a washout. The combined energy on that is only (1), which tells you everything.

From the 6th of July all the way through to the 18th, it's effectively flat. We see plenty of glassy mornings, especially on the 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 15th, and 17th, but there's simply no swell. A few bits of clean cross-off wind pop up on the 8th and 13th, but again, with zero wave energy, it's just a flat, pretty lake. Even the bigger wind day on the 5th only kicks up a combined energy of (1). This spot is exposed to the ESE, and we just aren't getting any proper groundswell pushing in.

This is a classic blank run for this area. No standouts, no silver linings. If the wind stays and a surprise swell shows, things could change, but right now, keep the board in the garage and the wax in the wrapper. The setup would honestly look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if any breeze kicked up proper chop.

Stay patient,
Rusty
