The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Solanas over this next little while.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it's gonna be a frustrating wait. We're looking at the best part of a week with absolutely nothing on the menu. From now through the 16th of August, it's all glassy mornings and clean afternoons, but with zero swell to speak of. You could go for a paddle, sure, but you're not gonna catch a wave.
It's not until Monday the 17th that we finally see a pulse of energy. Even then, it's tiny – we're talking about a little southeast swell of about 1 feet. The period is a short 4 seconds, so it's got no punch. The wind looks clean in the mornings with a gentle offshore, which is a positive, but the wave energy is weak (5). Honestly, it's still in the "poor surf conditions" category. The whole week leading up to the 24th of August is a tease: small bits of energy here and there, but nothing that will get your heart racing. The swell stays under 1 foot with short periods, and the combined energy never breaks into double digits. It's flat, plain and simple.
Now, if you're looking for the one true standout, you'll have to hold out until Monday the 24th of August. That morning, we get a tiny 0.3 ft swell from the west, but the period stretches to 6 seconds. That's still short and weak (energy of just 1), but it's the best of a bad bunch. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNW, so it'll be clean. For a beginner spot like Solanas, it's safe, but you'll be scratching for waves. The rest of the month looks similar – small, weak swell and clean but empty lineups. It's just one of those stretches where the ocean takes a deep breath.
Hang tight, the forecasts can always change.
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.
