The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the same story in feet and miles.
First up, straight talk: the next 16 days are looking pretty flat for the area. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions with barely a ripple. The swell direction we’d want (SE) is a ghost for most of the run. The only spot on the radar is Il Convento, a reef and point setup that’s inconsistent and can draw a crowd sometimes. But honestly, even it’s not offering much.
The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, almost like bathwater.
Let’s walk through it. From Sunday 19 July through to the end of the month, it’s a bust. We’re looking at 12 days where the combined swell energy is zero or a measly 1 (0–1). There’s nothing breaking. A few mornings have clean, glassy conditions, but with no swell to speak of, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean. The afternoons are mostly a cross-onshore mess with wind around 15–25 km/h, making it choppy and unrideable. The best you’ll see in that stretch is a tiny 1ft to 1ft of short-period slop (2–6 seconds) – not worth paddling out for.
The first real hint of life shows up on Monday 3 August morning. Il Convento might see a tiny 1ft SE swell at 4 seconds, with glassy conditions and a combined energy of just 5. That’s weak, but it’s the cleanest the window gets. The afternoon picks up a little with 2ft from the ESE at 4 seconds, energy up to 10, but the wind swings onshore from the SE at 10 km/h, making it bumpy. It’s still poor surf, though.
If I had to pick a standout – and I’m stretching here – it’s that Monday 3 August morning. Glassy, clean, and the biggest swell of the whole forecast (2ft). But with a period of only 4 seconds and that weak energy, don’t expect much. This is a true “beginners-only” shoulder-high mush if you’re desperate.
So, the bottom line: a 12-day gap with no surf, then a couple of weak, short-period pulses that are barely rideable. It’s a quiet run for the area. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep the board in the bag.
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.
