The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at the next 16 days for Solanas, and to be honest, it's a flat spell. There’s a big gap of no surf to start with, running from now, July 14th, all the way through to the morning of July 24th. That's over a week of nothing worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath out there, but it ain't helping the waves.
The first real chance to get wet comes on the morning of Friday the 24th of July. The swell is weak, just 3 ft from the SSE, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 40, so no punch. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, keeping things clean. The surf is tiny and weak, but it's the cleanest we've seen in a while. It's a beginner-friendly dribbler, and crowds are possible at Solanas, but with this size, you'll probably have it to yourself.
The next morning, Saturday the 25th of July, is probably the best of a bad bunch. The wind goes glassy, and we've got a 3 ft swell from the SE. It's still a weak, short-period swell with 40 energy, but if you're desperate for a few small, clean waves, that's your window. It's still a beginner wave.
After that, the wind picks up and the surf quality turns to rubbish. The only other tiny flurry is on the 27th, but it's a 1 ft from the WSW with a long 8-second period – that's a bit more of a groundswell, but it's just too small to do anything with. The whole run is a bust. Keep your board in the car and wait for a change in the forecast.
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.
