The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Right now, things are looking pretty grim for Il Convento. We’ve got a long dry spell on our hands, with no real surf on offer for the first week and a half. The only tiny blip we see is a sneaky little 1ft swell from the south on Sunday the 16th, but honestly, with a period of just 2 seconds, that’s nothing more than a dribble. The wind is messy too, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so the water is going to be choppy and uninviting.
From there, we hit another quiet patch. The morning of Thursday the 20th shows a flicker of life with a 0.3ft south-west swell, again at a weak 4 seconds and combined energy of just (1). Still, that’s not enough to get excited about. The wind is offshore, so the surface will be clean, but with no real wave height, it’s a flat spell.
After that, it’s back to the same story. The morning of Saturday the 22nd offers another 0.3ft south-west swell, but the wind is onshore, and the wave energy is negligible. The rest of the run through the 23rd is just more of the same – small, weak, and windswept.
In short: There’s nothing worth paddling out for in this 16-day window. The forecast is a total blank. For a spot like this, it’s not unusual to see these long, quiet stretches. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so at least a swim would be comfortable, but don’t bother bringing your board.
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.
