The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s check out what’s on tap at Il Convento.
Straight up, it’s a tough outlook for this reef and point set-up. We’re looking at a long stretch with barely a ripple. For the next 16 days, the surf is practically non-existent. There’s a solid 12-day gap from the start with no real recommendations, and even after that, it’s just tiny, weak energy.
The only day that even gets a sniff of a wave is Monday, the 27th of July. We’ve got a 3ft SE swell rolling in, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it won’t have much grunt. The combined energy is a weak 91, so you’re not going to feel any power. On the plus side, the morning is dead glassy with zero wind, so the surface will be like a mirror. It’s surfable, but just barely. The water is a tropical 83°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath.
After that, it drops right back off. The 28th of July has a tiny 1ft glassy morning, but it’s just too small. Then from the 29th through to the 7th of August, it’s a total flat spell. A few glassy mornings here and there, but the swell charts are empty. This is one of those blank runs that’s just normal for the area when the swell direction isn’t lined up.
Don’t hold your breath. It’s a waiting game.
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.
