The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this stretch isn’t offering much for surfers over the next 16 days. The only break on the radar is Il Convento, a reef and point setup that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. It’s normally an exposed spot, but the swell is just not showing up, and the little energy that does arrive is weak and short-period. The water is sitting at 82°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so if you’re just keen for a swim, it’s lovely, but for surfing? It’s a tough watch.
The forecast starts with a blank run from now until Sunday the 2nd of August – no surf at all. Then, from Monday the 3rd into the early part of the week, we see tiny pulses of swell, but nothing worth paddling out for. Monday morning has a 1 ft swell from the ENE with a period of 3 seconds and a combined energy of (2) – that’s weak, barely a ripple. Winds are light cross-shore, but the waves are too small and gutless. The rest of the week is similar: Tuesday morning brings 2 ft from the SE at 5 seconds, energy of (11), with light cross-onshore winds, but again, it’s poor. Wednesday morning is glassy with 2 ft from the SE, but the period is still short at 5 seconds and energy only (12) – it’s clean but tiny. Thursday morning sees a 0.7 ft ESE swell with 4-second period, energy of (3) – practically flat. Things drop off completely from Friday the 7th through the weekend and into the following week, with days of zero surf and only occasional 0.3 ft bumps. By Saturday the 15th, there’s a tiny 1 ft SSW swell, and Sunday the 16th morning has nothing, but the afternoon turns glassy with a 1 ft south swell – still too small to surf. The pattern runs out on Monday the 17th with no surf.
Honestly, this is a long stretch of quiet. If you’ve got a kite or a foil board, the moderate cross-onshore afternoons later in the period might be more interesting, but for paddle surfing, it’s a blank. Il Convento rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
