The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Il Convento over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nada here. From now right through to the end of the first week of August, there’s just no real surf to speak of. We’re talking about a solid 16-day gap with barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won’t help us catch a wave.
For the first ten days or so, it’s a blank canvas – flat, flat, flat. You’ll see a few tiny blips of energy, like a 0.3ft swell from the SW on the morning of the 21st of July, but with a period of just 4 seconds and combined swell energy of only 1 (weak), it’s barely a bump. The wind is often clean or glassy, but that doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride. The afternoon of the 24th of July shows a bit of a pulse – a 4ft NE swell with a 7-second period and moderate energy of 173. But it’s accompanied by an onshore wind, so it’ll be messy and poor quality.
Things start to look slightly less empty towards the end of July and into early August. On the morning of the 30th of July, there’s a 3ft SE swell with a 5-second period and energy of 82 (still weak). The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’s not ideal. The 31st of July morning offers a glassy 1ft SE swell, but again, it’s tiny.
The standout, if you can call it that, would have to be the morning of the 30th of July. The 3ft SE swell is the biggest we see, and with a light cross-shore breeze, it’s the least ugly option in a very ugly forecast. It’s a reef and point setup, and the swell direction is from the SE, which matches the optimum direction. But with energy that low and a short period, don’t expect much. This is strictly for the keenest of locals who just need to get wet.
Overall, this is a pretty classic summer flat spell. If you’re a kitesurfer, the afternoon of the 24th of July with that 4ft NE windswell and a solid onshore breeze might be more your speed. For the rest of us, it’s a time for board maintenance and watching the forecast change. It tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.

Information about the Il Convento Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Il Convento provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Il Convento can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Il Convento 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 (Il Convento) 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 Il Convento 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.
