The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch for Il Convento. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle, with no real standout swell to get excited about. We’ve got a long gap of nothing much at the start, so don’t bother checking the charts until later in the week.
The first whisper of something surfable arrives on the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. It’s small, just 4ft of swell from the SSE, but the real kicker is the wind. It’s a light, cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy is weak (124), so it’s not going to be powerful, but for a point and reef setup like Il Convento, that’s actually a decent call. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – proper tropical bathwater, you’ll be in a rashie or boardies for sure.
Then Sunday the 23rd of August morning is worth a mention too. A bit more of the same: 4ft from the SE, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. The energy is similar (141), and it’s clean. It’s not pumping, but it’s the best we’ve got. It’s inconsistent, you’ll be waiting for sets, but the quality of the wave when it comes will be alright.
Beyond that, it’s a real dribble. The rest of the outlook is a flat spell, with tiny waves and bad wind directions. The swell drops right off, and the energy readings are in the single digits. Kite surfers might get a look in on the windier afternoons, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard no. The whole second week is a write-off, with nothing but small, weak, and onshore slop. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual – it’s just a waiting game for the next proper pulse.

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.

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.
