The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a rough stretch for Il Convento. We’re looking at a 16-day window that starts off with some real doldrums. For the first couple of weeks, there’s just nothing doing. From Monday the 27th of July right through to Monday the 10th of August, it’s a long, flat spell. You’ll see a few tiny ripples here and there, but nothing worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 82°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you’re just going for a swim, it’s lovely, but for surf? Forget it.
The first real sniff of something happens on Monday the 10th of August. The morning shows a small 2ft SE swell with a period of 5 seconds, and light offshore winds from the NNW. The combined energy is weak (25). By the afternoon, that swell bumps up to 4ft from the SE, period still short at 5 seconds, and the energy gets a little more moderate (119). The wind turns cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit choppy. It’s still a poor surf scenario overall, but it’s the best we’ll see in that whole second week. The next morning, Tuesday the 11th of August, sees a similar 2ft SE swell, light offshore winds, and clean conditions, but again, the energy is low (31). For a reef and point setup like Il Convento, you want a bit more push and a longer period.
Honestly, in this entire 16-day stretch, there’s no standout. The best on offer is the Monday the 10th of August afternoon, with that 4ft SE swell. It’s not great, but if you’re desperate, it’s the only thing that’s even close to rideable. The break is inconsistent at the best of times, and with these short-period, weak swells, it’s just not going to light up. Crowds are possible, but with conditions this poor, I doubt many will bother.
Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, this is a hard pass.

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.
