The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a good look at the charts for the Solanas area, and I’ve got to be straight with you. The outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a tough one. There’s a long stretch of nothing doing, so we’re looking at a proper flat spell before we see any kind of bump.
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until very late in the run. The entire first week from Saturday the 8th of August right through to the end of the following week is a write-off. We’re talking over a week of glassy mornings and light breezes, but zero swell to speak of. The energy is barely registering, with combined readings of 0 or just a few points (0-5). It’s totally flat, and the “poor surf conditions” note in the data is spot on.
Then, around the 19th of August we start to see a tiny pulse of energy. It’s nothing to write home about, but it’s something. On Wednesday the 19th of August, we get a tiny, short-period swell from the west-northwest, 1ft at 3 seconds. The energy is still weak (4-7). Thursday the 20th of August sees the biggest bump of the whole period, with a 2ft swell from the west-northwest at 4 seconds. The combined energy nudges up to 15, which is still very weak. The wind on Thursday morning is a moderate cross-shore from the northwest at 12 mph, which will put a bit of a chop on the surface. It’s light offshore in the afternoons, but the swell is tiny and inconsistent.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Thursday the 20th of August is your best bet. Solanas is an exposed beach break, so it takes whatever is coming. The swell direction is slightly west of north-west, and the optimum for this spot is south-southwest, so it’s not a perfect match. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, we’re looking at a flat spell that’s only broken by a few days of negligible, weak swell. It’s really not worth getting excited about. For a beginner, don’t worry, the 2ft max is fine. For anyone else, it’s time to find something else to do. The setup is so small and weak it’s not even worth discussing for other sports.
Stick with it, though. It tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
