The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've looked over the charts for our stretch of coast, and it's a bit of a tough stretch for surfers. We’ve got a full 16-day window on the books, and the honest truth is that there isn’t a single day that gets the green light for a proper surf. Not one. The swell is just not showing up in any meaningful way, and when there’s nothing to push in, there’s nothing to ride.
Just to give you an idea, we’re looking at a real dry spell. It kicks off with absolutely nothing on Wednesday the 19th, and that flatness carries on through the week. The energy levels are pathetic – we’re talking single digits here. There’s a tiny blip where the combined energy creeps up a little on Saturday the 22nd, but even then, we’re talking about ankle-biters at best. That’s not surf, that’s just a ripple on the water.
The conditions would be pretty with light, clean mornings, but with raw power readings like that, it’s just a no-go. Even the glassy, offshore mornings on Thursday the 20th are a write-off because there’s simply nothing to surf. This pattern pretty much holds for the entire period, and those long-range days around the end of the month and into September look just as bleak. There’s a bit of wind that kicks up on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September, but with no swell behind it, it’s not worth mentioning for a paddle.
The only place I’d even be looking at is Il Convento, and that’s only because the forecast models for the area show a slight bump in period, but the wave heights are just too small to be of any use. The water is running much warmer than normal though, so if you’re just keen for a swim, you’ll be fine, but don’t bring your board.
Honestly, this is one of those frustrating stretches where the ocean just doesn’t want to cooperate. It’s a blank run, which can happen in this area from time to time. Don’t let it get you down too much. The charts can change, and all it takes is one good swell to flip this whole thing on its head. Keep your gear ready, and I’ll be here when it turns on.
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.
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.
