The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Il Convento.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a quiet stretch ahead. The combined swell energy is sitting real low, mostly in the weak range (10 or less), and for long stretches there’s literally nothing showing. This reef and point set-up needs a good SE groundswell to fire, and it just isn’t getting any real push. The water temp’s about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
We kick off Tuesday the 4th of August with tiny 1ft swell from the SE, but the wind is a cross-onshore mess and it’s choppy – not worth paddling out for. Wednesday the 5th is a bit cleaner early with a light NNW cross-off breeze, but the swell’s still only 1ft and pretty weak with a short period around 5 seconds. You might get a few little knee-high things, but don’t expect much.
Thursday the 6th has a real moment of hope – glassy conditions in the morning with a slight air and clean surface. Problem is the swell drops to just 0.7ft from the east, with energy down to 1. It’s flat, mate. Friday the 7th is glassy offshore early but again, only 0.3ft of swell. We’re talking about a lake.
From Saturday the 8th right through to the middle of the month, there are big gaps with no swell at all. You’ll see days of zero wave height and clean, glassy mornings that are just flat. It’s a tough run. The wind does go offshore or glassy a few mornings, like on the 12th, 13th, 15th, and 16th of August, but without any swell it’s just a nice day to sit on the beach.
The only faint pulse comes right at the tail end of the forecast, around Tuesday the 19th of August. Morning looks glassy again with a light NNW breeze, but the swell is only 0.3ft from the southwest with a short period. The energy is still in the weak zone (1). It’s not going to break.
Honestly, the standout here is that there are no standouts. The whole 16-day window is a bust for real surf. The spot is inconsistent by nature, and this stretch proves it. If you’re a local, you know this happens. Don’t hold your breath – the forecasts can change, but right now it’s a solid blank run.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
