The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Solanas. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
We kick off Wednesday the 29th of July with a tiny 1ft of SSE swell, period a short 6 seconds, and the combined energy is barely a whisper at 7. It’s a cross-off wind, so it’s clean, but honestly it’s poor surf. Not worth paddling out for.
Thursday the 30th stays the same story – 1ft to 0.3ft, no power, with a mix of offshore and cross winds. The biggest tease might be Friday the 31st morning: tiny 0.3ft swell but glassy conditions. That’s about as good as it gets for a flat day.
We drop right off into a brutal stretch from Sunday the 2nd of August through to the afternoon of Wednesday the 13th of August. For nearly two weeks, the combined swell energy is zero. There’s nothing. Absolutely flat. A few mornings offer glassy or clean conditions, but with no waves to ride. The only tiny blip is on Wednesday morning the 5th of August: a 1ft SW swell with a period of 4 seconds and weak energy of 8, paired with a cross-off wind. Still poor surf.
After that it’s back to zeros until the last day, Thursday the 13th of August, with a morning offshore wind but again, no swell.
There are simply no standouts in this 16-day window. It’s a flat run, and for this area that’s just how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on it, though – forecasts change, and it never stays poor for long, mate.
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.
