The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Solanas.
Right off the bat, I've gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s just nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the energy is almost non-existent. We’re looking at a long, flat spell. From the 25th of August right through to the 9th of September, every single forecast point comes back as "poor surf conditions." That’s a solid two-week stretch of nothingness.
The only break we have any info on is Solanas. It's a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, exposed to the swell, but it just isn't firing. The first bit of information on the 25th of August shows a 4 ft SW swell, but it's blowing 15 mph onshore from the WSW, making a mess of things. The water is a very warm 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn't help the waves.
The rest of the period is a desert. We get a few scraps of tiny swell, like 1.0 ft or 1 ft, but the periods are short, under 8 seconds, and the combined energy – when it exists – is pitiful, often single digits (like 8 or 4). There are a few mornings with glassy conditions or light offshore winds, like on the 27th of August morning with a NE 3 mph glassy wind, but the swell is only 0.3 ft. You’d be floating on a lake. Even on the 4th of September morning, we get a glassy calm, but the swell is just 1 ft at a 4-second period. It’s not surfable.
Honestly, for a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. For a place like this, it’s more normal to have a few blank days, but a full two weeks of no recommendations is a tough pill to swallow. It’s the kind of setup where, if you’ve got a kite, you might find something to do on a windy afternoon, but for a paddle surfer, there’s just nothing.
Keep your eyes on the forecast, though. It tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
