The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands.
The only spot that’s even showing a pulse is Il Convento, a reef and point set-up that's exposed to the southeast. This place is inconsistent at the best of times, and this stretch is no different. The water is running at 83°, which is a solid 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, almost bathtub-like.
We’re looking at a long, quiet run. From now until the morning of Sunday the 26th of July, there’s essentially nothing doing. Waves are tiny, the wind is messy, and the scores are all zeros. It’s a total write-off.
Then, on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July, we finally get a bit of life. A small SE swell pushes in at 4ft with a 7-second period, and the combined swell energy hits a modest 147. The wind is offshore from the NW, light breeze, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon drops off to 3ft, still clean, but weakening. This is the only real window of the whole 16 days, but it’s nothing to get excited about. It’s small, weak, and the quality is just average.
After that, we slip back into the abyss. From the 27th of July right through to the 4th of August, it’s back to tiny, poor conditions. There are a few glassy mornings on the 30th of July, 1st of August, and 2nd of August, but the swell is so small – 1ft to 3ft – you’ll be scratching for anything ridable. The wave energy is weak, often in the single digits or low teens.
Honestly, the only notable session is that Sunday morning on the 26th. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only game in town. For the rest of it, you’re better off leaving the board in the car.
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.
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.
