Fano Sassonia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m not gonna lie, this outlook is a tough one for the whole 16-day window. The main spot we’re tracking is Fano Sassonia, and to be honest, it’s a pretty lean run. The swell is tiny, the directions are all wrong, and most of the time the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little wave there is. There’s a big gap of no surf at all starting from the 25th of July right through to the 4th of August, with only a few days of tiny, scrappy possibilities before that.

The first sniff of anything rideable comes on Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the NE, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 79 (weak). The wind is glassy, which is a saving grace, making it clean. But the wave comment says it’s “surfable but very ordinary,” so we’re talking small, weak, and not very exciting. It’s the best morning of the whole period, but that’s not saying much. The water temperature is about average for the time of year at Fano Sassonia, so no surprises there.

The rest of the first week is a write-off. Thursday is a flat, clean morning with a puff of 1.0 ft. Friday morning sees a bit more swell, 4 ft from the NE, but the wind is cross-on and choppy, so it’s no good. The combined energy jumps to 122 (moderate) on Friday afternoon, but the wind is onshore and the period is short, so it’s poor.

Then from Saturday the 25th of July, the swell completely dries up. There’s nothing but flat, clean mornings for days on end. The wind is often light or offshore, but with no waves, it doesn’t matter. A few tiny ripples pop up on the 30th and 31st of July, but we’re talking 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with poor wind and no energy. It’s a waste of a paddle.

The only standout, if you can call it that, is Wednesday morning the 22nd of July. The tiny 4 ft glassy conditions at Fano Sassonia are the only surfable moment in the whole outlook. For a beginner, that might be a chance to get wet, but for anyone else, it’s a flat spell. The setup here is a beach break, so with the short period and weak energy, it’s not going to be anything special. Crowds are possible, but with conditions this poor, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Honestly, this is a pretty barren run. The area is just not doing anything. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a long wait.

Rusty.
