The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we're looking at a long, quiet stretch ahead. The next week and a half or so is mostly a write-off for any real surf at Il Convento. For the next 9 days, the energy just isn't there. Swell heights are tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with weak combined swell energy and short periods. A lot of the time we're looking at "poor surf conditions" on the cards.
Now, there is a flicker of hope, but you'll have to be patient. Around the morning of Tuesday, September 22nd, we finally see a pulse of life. The swell here picks up to a modest 2 ft from the NE, with a period of 10 seconds giving it some shape, and the combined swell energy climbs to a moderate 109. The wind is a light cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. It's not going to be pumping, but for a spot that's been flat for so long, it's a genuine option for a sneaky session. However, the afternoon of that same day is a different story – the swell bumps up to 6 ft from the NE with strong energy (621), but it's paired with a cross-onshore breeze that'll chop it up. That 6 ft might also be a bit much for beginners.
So, is there a standout? Honestly, it's a lean pick. The best on offer is that Tuesday morning at Il Convento. It's inconsistent at the best of times, so a rare window of clean-ish surf is worth noting. A big caveat: the period for that morning swell is 10 seconds, which is solid for a point and reef break like this, meaning it should set up nicely. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
Other than that one brief window, the rest of the forecast into the following weekend stays flat or choppy. It's going to be a long, quiet spell, but for a spot that's often inconsistent, this kind of blank run isn't that abnormal.
Keep your eyes on the charts for something better.
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.
