The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at the Solanas stretch for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you: this is a tough run. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any swell to speak of. The forecast is basically a flat spell for days on end, and the few times a little bump shows up, the conditions are just as bad. You’ll be waiting a long time between sessions here.
The first window of interest isn't until Friday, July 30th. That's over a week and a half away. Up until then, we’ve got a whole lot of nothing. You’ll see tiny, short-period dribbles, but the wind is either onshore or cross-shore, making it a messy, frustrating paddle with no reward. There’s a glassy morning on Wednesday, July 22nd, but the combined swell energy is a flat zero (0). It’s absolutely flat. Not even a ripple.
Alright, let's talk about the one period that might offer a glimmer. On Thursday morning, July 30th, we finally see some life. The swell pushes up to 4 ft from the SE with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 82, which is still weak, but it’s the most we’ve seen. The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NW at 15 mph, which will put a chop on the surface. It’s not clean, but it’s surfable for a beginner. The swell direction is from the SE, while this spot likes a SSW swell, so it’s not hitting the bank perfectly. The water temp is a sizzling 82°, which is a massive 7° above normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you won’t need a wetsuit, that’s for sure.
Thursday afternoon, July 30th, the swell drops to 3 ft from the SE, energy down to 56, and the wind swings to a cross-onshore W at 12 mph, making it choppier.
The best of the entire run is probably that Thursday morning, July 30th. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only time we have a real swell and a chance to get wet. The waves will be small, weak, and a bit messy, but for a beginner on a longboard, there might be a few rideable bumps. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have some company, but with this quality, it won’t be crowded.
After that, it fades back to tiny, clean but flat conditions on Friday, July 31st and into August.
It’s a lean period, folks. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
