The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what we’ve got on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Il Convento. I gotta level with you straight up: it’s a long, quiet stretch ahead. Good news is there’s water temps running around 84°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable while you’re sitting out there waiting.
Right now and for the next several days, honestly, there’s nothing doing. The swell window is shut. We’re looking at a run of flat, glassy mornings and light afternoon breezes that just won’t set the reefs up. You’ll see a few days with no surf to speak of all the way into the middle of next week.
We finally see a little pulse arrive on the morning of Sunday, August 17th. The swell bumps up to about 2ft from the SE with a short period of 4 seconds and combined energy of only (20). It’s small, weak, and on the short side, but it pairs with a light offshore NW breeze at 6 mph – that’ll keep the surface clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but if you’re jonesing, it’s the first real chance you’ll get to wet a line.
Later that afternoon the wind swings around strong and cross-onshore, so don’t bother.
Tuesday morning the 18th stays clean with that NW offshore again, but the swell drops back to barely a ripple – less than 1ft from the SSE, energy at (2). If you’ve got a longboard and patience, maybe.
From about Wednesday the 19th onward, it pretty much dries up again. A few hints of tiny 1ft to 2ft SE swell pop up over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd, but the periods are short and the winds get messy – cross-onshore moderate breezes. The morning of Sunday the 23rd might offer the only real highlight of the whole run: about 2ft from the SE at 5 seconds (10) combined energy and a light offshore NNW breeze around 6 mph. Clean little closeout set-ups for a log session. It ain’t classic, but in this stretch, it’s the best on offer.
After that, the final days trail off into the same story – tiny, short-period leftovers under clean skies but nothing to get excited about. Honestly, if you’re not on a foamie or a longboard, you might wanna find something else to do this fortnight.
Signing out, 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.
