G'day, Rusty here. Well, I've had a good look at what's on the cards for Il Convento over the next sixteen days, and I've got to be straight with you – it's a pretty grim run. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn't playing ball. We’re looking at a real dry spell, with no true standouts whatsoever. The whole period is a write-off for any kind of decent surf, so don't bother dusting off your board just yet.
The first suggestion of anything in the water doesn't even pop up until Sunday, the 12th of July. Even then, it's barely a whisper. On Sunday morning, we might see a tiny 4ft SE swell creeping in, but the combined energy is weak at just 101, so it's got no grunt. The water here is sitting at a balmy 79°F, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year, a solid 4°F above average, so that’s a noticeable change if you’re used to the usual temps. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the N at 3 mph, which keeps the surface clean, but with a swell that small, it's surfable waves but very ordinary conditions. For the rest of that day, and every single day that follows right through to the 23rd of July, it's the same sad story: tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The combined energy readings are almost always in the single digits, and any wave heights are consistently below 2ft. It’s a total non-event.
There’s a solid two-week gap of nothing worth paddling out for. The break itself is a reef and point, exposed to the SE which is the optimum direction, but when there's no swell, none of that matters. Honestly, for the few days where there’s a bit of wind and a tiny ripple, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Just a heads up.
So, bottom line: save your energy. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, there's nothing to get excited about for Il Convento.
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.
