Table - best surf conditions forecast for Il Convento over the next 16 days.
Right, grab a coffee, let’s get into it. The outlook for Il Convento over the next 16 days is a tough one. There's a big gap of nothing at the start. For Thursday morning, 9th July, it’s a flat, glassy morning with calm conditions, but absolutely no surf to speak of. This continues right through the opening days. The water is a warm 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, by a good 4°, so that’s a nice bonus if you’re just having a swim, but it’s not helping the waves.
The first glimmer of anything comes on Sunday morning, 12th July. We see a little swell roll in from the SE at 4ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is only moderate (101). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, so the face will be clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Don’t get your hopes up. This is the only session that even gets a passing grade in the entire run. The break is an inconsistent reef and point, so it’s not a surprise that it’s taking its time to wake up. The optimum swell direction is from the SE, so at least that window is lined up on Sunday, but with such a short period, it’s not going to have any punch.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the 16 days are a write-off for surfing. Conditions are often glassy or clean, with some offshore winds on the 17th, 18th, and 19th of July, but there’s just no swell to ride. The combined energy drops to single digits or zero. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the 12th morning is your only shot, and even then, it’s a big maybe. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty standard for the area. It’s a long wait.

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.
