Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a hard look at what’s coming up for Il Convento over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – the forecast is pretty grim for a good chunk of it, so temper your expectations.
We start off with a bit of a tease on Sunday, July 12th. The morning has our best shot, with a 4 ft swell rolling in from the SE. It’s short period stuff at 6 seconds, so not a ton of grunt, but the combined swell energy is moderate at best (101). The real kicker is the wind: a light 6 mph from the NNE, blowing cross-offshore. That’s going to keep the surface clean and lined up. The water is sitting at 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit. This is the standout window for the whole 16-day run – a small but tidy little session. Crowds are possible here, and given this is the only decent look, expect company.
After that Sunday morning, it takes a nosedive. Sunday afternoon turns onshore, and the swell drops to 3 ft. From Monday, July 13th, all the way through Thursday, July 23rd, it’s a barren stretch. The swell just dies – we’re talking 2 ft and below, with periods bottoming out to 3 or 4 seconds. The combined energy falls to single digits (weak). Most days the wind is cross-on, onshore, or just messy. You might see a glassy morning here or there on July 15th and July 22nd, but with zero meaningful swell, it’s a lake. That’s nearly a week and a half of nothing worth paddling out for.
Finally, there’s a flicker of hope in the second week. On Saturday, July 25th, the wind goes offshore from the NNW at 9-12 mph – and that’s clean. But the swell is the problem: a tiny 0.3 ft from the SW. Pretty much flat. Same story on Sunday, July 26th, and Monday, July 27th with offshore winds but absolutely no waves. The forecast for these days is promising in terms of clean conditions but very uncertain as to whether any real swell will show up this far out.
So, to wrap it up: your one and only honest-to-goodness surf is Sunday morning, July 12th. Get on it if you can, because after that, you’re looking at a long, quiet spell. If things change, forecasts can turn, but right now, it’s slim pickings.
Stay thirsty,
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.
