The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking lean for a proper paddle. We’ve got Solanas (Sardinia) on the radar, but it’s not going to be wowing anyone.
The overall pattern is one of long, quiet spells. We’ve got a big gap of nothing but flat, clean-looking mornings for the first week or so. The water is sitting at 83°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a warm bath.
The first real blip of interest comes on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning shows a small 4ft swell from the SE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is 167 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a cross-shore from the NW at 16 mph. That’s going to create a lumpy cross-chop, so it’s going to be a bit messy. This is a beach break, and with the period under 8 seconds, it’s not going to have much push. Not a standout.
After that, the wind gets stronger, and the sea gets lumpier. The weekend of the 2nd of August is the only other time we see anything close to surfable. On the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August, there’s a 3ft SE swell, with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 54 (weak wave energy). The wind is light offshore from the NE at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean, but the swell is just too weak and short-period to get excited about. It’s really only for the absolute beginner just wanting to bob around.
For the entire 16-day window, there’s nothing that stands out as a true session. The best you’ll get is a few small, clean, but gutless waves. The consistency is weak, and the quality is ordinary. It’s one of those quiet periods where the forecast might change, but for now, the board stays 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.
