The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, delivering the same bad news in feet and degrees.
Let’s be real: Il Convento is in a deep slumber for the entire 16-day outlook. There’s no real surf on the table. The first day shows a tiny 2ft S swell Tuesday morning, but the comment calls it poor surf conditions. That weak 17 energy and a 5-second period just aren’t going to give you anything rideable. The water is 83°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year — a solid 5°F above normal, so the water temp is the only thing that’s out of the ordinary.
From Tuesday afternoon right through to Friday, September 4th, it’s mostly flat with a few days of zero swell and zero energy. There’s a brief moment on Thursday morning with a glassy 2ft ESE bump (19 energy), but it’s still poor. Then from the 31st right through the 4th, it’s dead flat.
On the 5th and 6th of September, we get a whisper of a swell — 0.3ft to 0.7ft — with clean offshore winds, but that’s barely enough to wet the wax. The energy numbers are 1 or 2.
Look, Il Convento is an inconsistent reef and point break, and without a proper SE swell, it just doesn’t produce. This kind of flat run is pretty standard for the area when the swell direction is wrong. For paddle surfing, don’t bother. For a kite, maybe, if the wind is right.
Stay patient.
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.
