The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a lean stretch.
We’re talking about Solanas, a beginner-friendly spot that’s exposed to swell and usually fairly consistent. But right now, the ocean’s pretty much flat. The water is running way warmer than normal for this time of year – about 83°F with a 7°F anomaly, so that’s a real standout if you’re just wanting a dip.
From Sunday the 19th through the 27th, there’s basically nothing rideable. Tiny dribbles of 0.3ft to 0.7ft, short periods, and almost no energy – the combined swell energy never climbs above 2 (weak). Winds are light and variable, but without any swell, it’s a lost cause. A few mornings have clean conditions, but you can’t surf what isn’t there.
The only real glimmer comes on the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July. We get a pulse of 4ft swell from the southeast, period 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 155 (moderate). The wind is light offshore from the northwest at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. That’s the best we’ll see in the whole outlook. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum for Solanas (which likes SSW), but it’s still surfable. However, the waves are ordinary and the quality’s nothing to write home about – just the only rideable option in a long flat spell. After that, the 29th into the first week of August goes back to near-zero swell and poor conditions.
So, if you’re desperate, Tuesday morning the 28th is your window. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of nothing. The breaks are usually fairly consistent here, so this blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Solanas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Solanas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Solanas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Solanas 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. If you surf the same spot (Solanas) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Solanas 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.
Solanas is 24 km (15 miles) from Quartu Sant'Elena. If you plan a holiday in Sardinia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Quartu Sant'Elena. Quartu Sant'Elena has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
