The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days are a total write-off for Solanas. We're looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions with no real surf to speak of. The whole period from now through to the 4th of September is a total bust.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that's the only thing that's normal. We've got a long gap with no recommendations. The swell energy is virtually non-existent, with the highest reading we see being a weak 43 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on the morning of the 28th of August, and even that's barely a ripple. That's a 2ft swell from the SW with a short 6-second period, and it's coming with a cross-onshore wind, so it's messy. Forget about it.
For a few days around the 25th of August, we get some glassy, clean conditions with light offshore winds, but the swell is tiny – 1ft at best. It's just not enough to push a wave. The whole setup is a classic example of a blank run for this area. Sure, there are a few morning windows with clean, offshore winds, but without any swell, there's nothing to ride.
Don't waste your time checking the charts. This is going to be a quiet one. Hang the boards up for a bit. I'll be back when there's something worth shouting about.

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.
