The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let me break it down for you – the next couple weeks at Solanas are shaping up to be a real bummer for surf.
Starting now, Tuesday August 4th into Wednesday August 5th, it’s flat and messy. You’ve got a tiny 0.4m swell from the SE with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s wind chop, not surf. Combined energy is only 4 to 6 (weak), and the wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s choppy. Water temp is a super warm 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for the season. Doesn’t help the waves though.
From Thursday August 6th through Saturday August 15th, it’s a dead zone. Swell drops to zero for days. You’ll see glassy mornings on the 9th, 10th, and 12th, but there’s nothing to ride – combined energy is zero. You’d be floating on a pond. The only positive is clean conditions, but with no waves, it’s just a pretty lake.
We get a tiny pulse on Saturday August 15th afternoon – a 0.6m WSW swell with a 3-second period, combined energy of 6. Still tiny. On Monday August 17th morning there’s a 0.2m from the W with an 8-second period and clean offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph. Again, tiny.
The best we’ve got is Wednesday August 19th morning. A 0.6m SW swell, period of 4 seconds, combined energy of 10 – still weak, but the wind is cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, and it’s clean. Thursday afternoon August 20th bumps combined energy to 15 with a 0.6m SW, but the wind turns cross-on from the south, making it rough.
So, if you’re really keen, the 19th morning is your window – but it’s for beginners only, and crowds are possible. Otherwise, there’s a long flat stretch from the 6th to the 14th – almost 9 days with nothing. Not much to get excited about.
Hang in there, mate. Things can change.

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.
