The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Solanas.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day window that's pretty much a flat spell. The wave energy is basically a whisper, never getting above a pathetic 14 (combined energy of all swells directed here) for the whole stretch, and for long stretches it's just a zero. There are long gaps where there's nothing at all to recommend. Honestly, from the start, through the first week and into the second, you're looking at days on end with no real surf to speak of. There's a period from around the 20th of September right through to the 28th where the swell is virtually non-existent, just a few tiny, useless pulses.
The only faint glimmer I can see is on Friday the 18th of September in the morning. We get a tiny 0.7ft swell from the ESE with a period of 11 seconds. That's a long period for such a small wave, meaning it'll be a groundswell, but there's just no energy behind it. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW at about 9 mph, which would keep things clean, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a wave you can actually ride. It's a real shame because the water temp is a toasty 84°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but the ocean just isn't cooperating.
Honestly, for any surfer looking for a proper session, this forecast is a write-off. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle, if there's even enough wind for that. Keep the board in the van, folks, and hope the forecasts change.
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.
