The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about this 16-day stretch.
Honestly, it’s grim. Across the whole forecast period, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. You’re looking at a solid two-week gap with no proper surf on offer. The only break we’ve got data for is Il Convento, a reef and point setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times, and the models are showing it flat for nearly the whole run.
Water temps are running much warmer than normal for this time of year—we’re talking about 3° above average, sitting around 84°F.
There’s a tiny blip of energy around Saturday, August 22nd, with swell from the SE at 3 ft and a period of 5 seconds, weak wave energy (35). Winds are cross-offshore that morning, so it’d be clean, but the swell is so small and short-period it’s barely a ripple. Not worth dragging a board out for.
Other than that, we’ve got nothing over 2 ft the whole 16 days. Swell energy never cracks triple digits. Most mornings are glassy or offshore, which would be a positive if there was any swell, but without it, you’re just staring at flat water.
If you’re into kiting, the occasional afternoon cross-onshore breeze might give you something, but for a surfer, this is a write-off. It’s one of those stretches where the blank run is pretty normal for the area. Don’t sweat it—forecasts can change.
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.
