Table - best surf conditions forecast for Il Convento over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get straight into it. I’m not gonna sugar-coat this one – it’s been a grim stretch, and if you’re looking for a proper surf, you might be waiting a while. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat, but there’s a whisper of something on Sunday the 12th that might just be worth dragging the board out for.
The water temp at Il Convento is sitting at 79°, which is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s pretty damn notable. It’s gonna feel like a warm bath out there.
Alright, so we kick off on Saturday the 11th of July. Nothing happening at all. Tiny swell, poor conditions, strong cross-onshore wind from the east at 12 mph, choppy as hell. Not worth paddling for. Combined energy is only 17 (weak).
Sunday the 12th of July is where things get interesting – the only real standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a small but rideable 4 ft swell rolling in from the SE. It’s a short-period swell, only 6 seconds, so it’s not gonna have much punch, but the real story here is the wind. Light NNE breeze at 6 mph, cross-offshore, and the conditions are clean. Combined energy is up to 85 (moderate). This is your best bet – small, clean, and surprisingly rideable for a spot that’s usually inconsistent. In the afternoon the wind swings onshore and it gets messed up. Morning session is the window.
From Monday the 13th right through to the end of the month, it’s pretty much a write-off. Swell drops to tiny – 1 ft or less, with weak energy readings between 1 and 10. Thursday the 16th we get a glassy morning but no swell at all – zero energy, total flat spell. Friday the 17th through to Wednesday the 22nd is a long stretch of nada. There are some clean, glassy mornings and even a few light offshores, but with no swell to ride, it’s just a pretty view. Occasional tiny 0.3 ft to 2 ft pulses roll through on the 22nd and 25th, but with periods as low as 2 seconds and cross-on winds, it’s junk. Combined energy barely registers.
For a spot like Il Convento, a long run of no swell is pretty normal – the consistency is marked as inconsistent and it’s a reef and point setup that really needs a proper pulse from the SE to get going. If you’re desperate for a paddle and the wind’s clean, you might get a few knee-high sliders on Sunday morning the 12th, but otherwise, leave the board at home.
Stay hopeful, but don’t hold your breath. This one’s a dud for the most part.

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.
Il Convento is 20 km (12 miles) from the city of Capoterra. If you plan a holiday in Sardinia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Capoterra. Capoterra has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
