The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a tough one for Il Convento. This spot is a reef and point setup, and it’s inconsistent, which means we’re staring down a long stretch of flatness. The first real sign of any swell doesn’t show up until the very end. From now through most of the first week, there’s barely a ripple. We’ve got a big gap of several days with no surf to speak of at all.
The water is sitting at 81°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 4°F above average. That’s a notable jump.
The only time we see any pulse is around Monday, August 4th, when we get a tiny 1ft swell from the southeast, with a period of 4 seconds. That’s short period, weak energy (only 7 combined energy). It’s not really going to do much, and it’s blowing onshore from the SE in the afternoon, so it’ll be messy. The morning of the 4th has a light cross-shore, but the energy is still just 4. Not a window to get excited about.
Again, around Wednesday, August 13th, there’s a tiny 1.0ft pulse from the SSW, but the energy is a measly 1, and the afternoon wind is a 12 mph cross-onshore. Not worth paddling out for.
The last day, Sunday, August 16th, shows a clean morning with a light offshore from the NNW and a 0.7ft swell from the ENE. Period is 3 seconds, energy is only 2. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest window if you’re desperate for a float. But that’s not surf.
Bottom line: There’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day stretch. Il Convento is a reef and point break that rarely sees consistent waves, and this forecast shows exactly why. It’s a blank run. Sometimes the ocean just takes a holiday. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can change, but for now, the boards stay in the shed.
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.
