The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for Solanas, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, dry spell for any real surf.
The overall pattern is flat, and I mean flat. For the first two weeks of this forecast, there’s nothing doing. The swell energy is just pathetic, mostly single-digit readings, often down around 1 to 6. You’ll see a tiny bump of 2ft from the SE on Tuesday the 25th with a combined energy of 23, but it’s a short period windswell and the wind is on it, making it a write-off. A few mornings offer a clean, glassy look with light offshore winds, like Monday the 24th morning with 1ft from the ESE, but there’s just no push behind it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
This gap of no real surf goes on and on. From now until the 7th of September, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a solid two-week stretch of flat and poor conditions.
Things finally get a little interesting on Monday the 7th of September. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SE, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy finally climbs up to a moderate 85. The wind is a light N breeze, cross-offshore, which should keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. It’s a small, weak windswell, so don’t expect much push. The waves will be small and a bit crumbly.
For a beginner spot like Solanas, that 4ft is fine, but the lack of consistency and energy means it’s not a standout. There are no other options in the finder, so this is your only chance. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Monday the 7th is your day. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
