The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – this forecast for the next couple of weeks is a real struggle. For most of this stretch, the surf’s going to be pretty much non-existent or just plain poor. We’re looking at a long dry spell from now until about Sunday the 23rd of August with barely a wave worth paddling out for.
Right now, starting Sunday the 9th of August, the swell is tiny at Fano Sassonia, only about 2 ft from the NE with a short, weak 5-second period and combined energy of just 18 – basically flat. The wind’s cross-offshore in the morning, so it’s clean, but there’s no power behind it. That theme continues through the week. We get a few flashes of clean conditions, like Tuesday the 11th morning with a light cross-off, but the swell’s barely a bump at 0.7 ft. By Wednesday the 12th, we see a little more energy with 3 ft from the NNE, period still short at 5 seconds, and combined energy at 36 – still weak, and the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy.
Honestly, it’s a grind. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The only real glimmer of hope comes right at the end of the outlook. On Sunday the 23rd of August, the morning shows some life: a 3 ft NNE swell, period stretching to 6 seconds, and combined energy at 44 – still weak but the best we’ve seen. And the wind? Light and cross-off, leaving the surface clean. The surf report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but let’s be honest, after all this flatness, a 1/5 rating is about right. It’s an inconsistent beginner spot at Fano Sassonia, and while it’s exposed to the ESE optimum swell direction, this NNE swell isn’t quite on the money. Crowds are possible, but I wouldn’t worry too much – no one’s coming for this.
The very next day, Monday the 24th of August morning, we see the biggest swell of the whole run: 5 ft from the NNE with a 7-second period and combined energy jumping to 189 – moderate energy now. But here’s the kicker: the wind is cross, and the report says “poor surf conditions.” That size with a short period and cross-shore wind is going to be a messy, bumpy mess. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you ask me.
So, the standout – and I’m using that word loosely – is Sunday the 23rd of August morning. It’s the only window with clean, surfable waves, even if they’re small and weak. After that, Monday’s bigger swell is too blown out. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now it’s a long wait for a tiny payoff.
Rusty.
