The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this stretch for Solanas is a flat spell, plain and simple. If you’re looking to paddle into something, you’re going to be waiting a long while. The first real chance at a wave doesn’t even show up until Wednesday morning, the 9th of September, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
The whole run from now—Saturday the 29th of August—right through to Tuesday the 8th of September is a dead zone. We’re talking days of zero to barely knee-high slop, with combined wave energy barely flickering above zero. On the 29th, you’ve got a 1ft southwest swell, but it’s a short period 6 seconds and the energy is just 10 – weak. The wind is a light cross-off from the north-northwest on Saturday morning, so the surface might look clean, but there’s no push. Sunday and Monday are even smaller, with energy readings of 5 or less. The whole first week is a write-off.
Now, the first sign of something alive comes on Wednesday the 9th. The morning shows a 3ft swell out of the south-southeast with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 57 – still weak, but it’s at least a pulse. Wind is light and cross-off from the north-northwest, so it’ll be clean. But the same day afternoon brings a cross-onshore breeze from the south-southwest, chopping it up. Not a standout, just a hint of life.
Thursday the 10th offers a cleaner look. Morning swell drops to 2ft from the southeast, period still short at 5 seconds, energy 25. The wind is glassy light from the north-northeast, giving you clean conditions. If you’re desperate, that’s your best window in the whole forecast. It’s not good surf, but it’s the least bad.
After that, Friday the 11th has a 2ft northwest swell in the morning with a short 4-second period and offshore wind from the east-northeast – clean but weak. Saturday the 12th is similar, 2ft northwest swell, 3-second period, cross-off breeze.
There’s nothing here that gets the heart pumping. No standout. No day where you’d cancel plans. For a beginner spot like Solanas, it’s a normal quiet spell. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the car.
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.
