Table - best surf conditions forecast for Solanas over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks at Solanas are a tough watch.
For the next seven days, don’t bother paddling out. We’ve got a blank run of near-flat conditions with tiny, weak swell and poor surf quality from Wednesday the 8th all the way through to Saturday the 12th of July. The water temperature is 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only good news.
We finally see a flicker on Sunday the 12th of July. The morning brings in a small south-easterly swell around 4ft with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate at 110, but conditions are ordinary with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. It's surfable for a beginner if you’re desperate, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The afternoon drops to 3ft.
Monday the 13th starts glassy, but the swell is gone – just 1ft. Straight after that, we’re looking at another dry spell. From Monday afternoon right through to Wednesday the 23rd of July, the only rideable waves are tiny leftovers under 2ft. For nearly a week and a half, it’s just poor surf conditions with onshore or cross-shore winds and minimal energy readings – mostly under 10. This is one of those long gaps where there is genuinely nothing worth chasing.
The only faint glimmer comes on Sunday the 19th of July with a morning offshore breeze from the NE and a tiny 0.7ft westerly swell. It’s clean but too small to surf.
Honestly, Solanas is a no-go for the entire 16-day outlook. If you’re a kite surfer, the winds on the bigger afternoons might offer some interest, but for paddle surfing, it’s a bust. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the petrol.

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.
