The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let's have a yarn about what's cooking for the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, it’s looking grim out there. You’re not going to want to rush for the wetsuit just yet, because we’ve got a massive flat spell on the go. From now right through until the morning of Tuesday the 29th of September, there is absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. It's a desert. The swell energy is barely registering (1 to 17) and it’s mostly tiny, weak dribble under 2 feet.
The only place that even gets a look in, and it's a long shot, is Solanas. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot exposed to the south-southwest. The water temp is way above normal for the time of year, sitting at 83°, so you won't need the thick rubber.
Finally, on Tuesday the 29th of September, we get a pulse of life. The morning brings a 3 ft south-southeast swell with a short period of 5 seconds and light cross-offshore winds from the north-northwest, which will keep things clean. The energy jumps to a weak-moderate 53. By the afternoon, it glassed right off with a light sea breeze, and the swell bumps slightly to 4 ft from the same direction, combined energy hitting 77. Still short period though, so the shape will be lumpy and soft, not a lot of push. Not exactly firing, but it’s the best of a terrible lot over the next 16 days. You might get a fun little knee-to-waist high wave if you’re patient, and the lack of any real crowd is a bonus.
After that single afternoon window, we’re back to near-flat, gutless conditions for the rest of the run.
All in all, it's a wasteland of an outlook. A blank run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary for the area, so don't bin the board just yet – forecasts can change, but right now it's a waiting game.

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.
