The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Solanas over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and lifeless. We’ve got a real long gap here with barely a ripple. From now all the way through to the morning of Saturday, September 19th, it’s pretty much a bust. There’s a few tiny pulses of energy, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. So, you’re looking at about a week and a half of waiting.
The only time the ocean even tries to wake up is around Saturday the 19th. On the morning of the 19th, we see a tiny bump of 3 ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is still weak, only 48. The wind is a light offshore from the NE, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. After that, it fades back into nothing through the rest of the period.
So, for the standout – and I’m really stretching here – it’s that Saturday morning. The swell is tiny, the period is short, so it won’t have much punch. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. This spot is exposed to the SSW, and the swell is from the SSE, so it’s a bit off-angle, but it’ll wrap in a little. Don’t expect any crowds, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high wave.
Overall, it’s a lean run. The breaks are fairly consistent around here, so this is a bit of a dry spell. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
