The Lowdown
Alright, let me look at what's lined up for Solanas.
Honestly, it’s been a pretty flat and quiet stretch, and this 16-day run doesn’t offer much in the way of proper surf. There are long gaps with nothing on offer, especially through the middle of the week and into the following week. Most days show "poor surf conditions" with barely any wave energy. The combined energy values are all two-digit numbers, mostly single digits, so the energy is very weak. The first real glimmer of something comes up on Saturday the 22nd.
For the standout of this whole forecast… you’d have to look at Saturday morning, August 22 at Solanas. It’s the only session that breaks above a zero score. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell creeping in from the southeast, and the wind is a light offshore from the north-northwest. That offshore wind will keep things clean, which is a major positive given all the chop elsewhere. Still, the swell period is short at 6 seconds, so it won’t have much push. The combined energy is only 53, so it’s weak. This is a beginner-friendly break that’s fairly consistent, and with such small, clean waves, it’s a good spot for a learner to get a few small ones. Crowds are possible here, but on a day like this, it won’t be hectic.
After that, Sunday the 23rd has a similar small 2ft southeast swell, but the wind swings to a moderate offshore from the northeast. The waves will be clean, but still very small and weak (energy 36). Not a standout, just a marginal option if you’re desperate.
From Monday the 24th onward, it’s back to flatness, with only tiny, weedy pulses that barely register. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
Honestly, it’s a bleak outlook. The area just doesn’t have the consistency for surf right now. For paddle surfing, these small, weak swells with onshore or cross-shore winds are barely worth a look. If the wind picks up from the right direction, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than for us. But for now, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.

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.
