The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Il Convento is doing for the next couple of weeks.
You know what, I’ll be honest – it’s quiet. Real quiet. The water is sitting at a balmy 84°, which is way warmer than we usually see for this time of year, but that warmth isn’t buying us any waves. From Thursday the 13th of August all the way through the end of the month, the wave energy in the water is basically nothing. When the combined energy is under 100, you’re looking at flat to pathetic conditions.
The first week is a total write-off. We get some glassy mornings, like on the 14th and 15th, but with zero swell, the ocean is a mirror. Even when a tiny 0.7ft to 2ft bump tries to show up from the SSE or SE on the 16th and 17th, the periods are only 4 to 5 seconds – no power behind it. The wind goes offshore from the NNW on a few mornings, which would be killer if there was anything to ride, but there just isn’t.
The second week doesn’t change the story. We see more of those clean offshore mornings, but the swell stays tiny – nothing bigger than 2ft and the period barely hits 5 seconds. The best we get is on Monday the 24th of August, with a 2ft swell from the SW at a 7-second period, giving us a combined energy of 27. That’s still flat by any decent standard, and it gets chopped up by the onshore breeze in the afternoon anyway.
This spot is a reef and point that needs a solid SE groundswell to work. The little bumps we get from that direction just don’t have any grunt. If you’re really itching for a paddle, the clearest mornings are the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 27th of August, but you’ll be floating around, not surfing.
There are no standouts in this whole 16-day window. It’s a bad run, plain and simple. That’s just the way it goes sometimes.
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.
