The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this straight. It's been dead flat for the first week and then some, and it's got me checking my watch.
The whole opening stretch here is a write-off. Monday the 7th is nothing, just a clean, empty ocean and water that's sitting at 83°, which is a solid 7° warmer than it should be for this time of year. That's a red flag for the conditions, but at least the water's nice for a swim. We're looking at days of glassy mornings and messy afternoons, with the wind flipping around but the swell just not showing up. The 10th and 11th have some tiny, weak 3ft pulses from the southeast, but the period is a sorry 5 seconds and the energy is basically non-existent (34). It's not worth getting wet for. This dry spell runs right through to the 17th. A full ten days of nothing.
Then things finally wake up on Friday the 18th of September. Overnight, a proper pulse of southeast swell shows up. The morning looks alright with a clean 5ft at 7 seconds, and the energy jumps right up to 240. It's not huge, but it's something. But don't get too excited, because by the afternoon it's gone onshore and chopped out.
The real standout in this whole 16-day window is Saturday the 19th. The swell pushes up to 7ft in the morning, and it's still a solid 6ft in the afternoon, with the period stretching out a touch to 8 seconds. The energy is cranking at 440 in the morning and 403 in the afternoon – that's serious juice for this spot. This is the pick of the fortnight. It's got some size, a bit of push, and it's a proper groundswell. However, the wind is blowing cross-onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, so it's going to be a bit lumpy. It's not going to be glassy, but there's enough power to make it a fun, if slightly messy, surf. This is the one to make time for.
Sunday the 20th rolls in with the same southeast swell, still head-high at 5ft, but the onshore breeze strengthens to 12 mph, making things choppier and less appealing. The energy is still there (238-250), but the quality drops off.
After that, it's over. Monday the 21st drops back down to 2ft and the whole thing fades out into the 22nd with strong winds and tiny leftovers. That's that. The only real window is that Saturday the 19th, and even then, it's a battle with the wind. For the rest, maybe dust off the kiteboard.

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.
