The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next 16 days look pretty bleak for Solanas. We’ve got a long stretch of almost nothing, with a tease of bigger swell way down the line. It’s a tough outlook for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent.
We start off with a real flat spell. Thursday the 10th has a tiny 2ft swell from the SE, but it’s a short period 5 second windswell, and the wind is a messy cross-off. The water is a staggering 84°F, which is 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year—that’s very unusual. The energy is weak (23), and the surf is poor. That sets the tone for the next week. From Friday the 11th all the way through to Sunday the 20th, we are looking at sea level. Wave heights are mostly less than 1ft, with combined energy values of 1, 2, or 0. It’s flat. A few days have a little 1ft bump, but it’s not worth paddling out for. There’s a gap of about 10 days with no real surf on offer.
The only glimmer comes on Monday the 21st. The morning shows a 5-6ft SSE swell, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 238 (moderate). The wind is a clean light cross-off from the NNW. That’s the best the whole forecast gets. It’s still not a classic groundswell, but it’s the only time we see surfable size with clean conditions. The afternoon sees that swell drop to 4-5ft and the wind swings onshore, so the morning is the window.
Tuesday the 22nd has a 5-6ft WSW swell in the afternoon, but it’s blown out by a 12 mph cross-on wind and the energy is 221. The morning is cleaner but smaller at 3-4ft. It’s ordinary. Wednesday the 23rd is similar—4-5ft in the morning with clean cross-off wind, but it’s a lumpy WSW swell. The energy is 142.
After that, it fades back to tiny 2ft and 2ft slop for the end of the month. The water stays warm, but the surf doesn’t deliver.
So, if you’re a beginner, the 5-6ft on the 21st morning might be a bit much. For everyone else, that’s the only stand-out window. It’s not a great run, but forecasts can change. For now, keep your board in the car and hope for a shift.

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.
