Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Right then, let's be honest with you. I've had a proper look at the forecast, and it’s a tough one. The outlook for Il Convento over the next 16 days is pretty grim. We're looking at a long, drawn-out stretch of minimal to no surf, so if you're thinking of paddling out, you'll want to keep the board in the car for a while.
The water here is sitting at a very unusual 79°, a solid 5° warmer than normal for the time of year. It feels like bath water, but that's about the only positive.
To start off, on Tuesday the 7th, there's nothing doing – a glassy morning but absolutely no swell. That sets the tone. We go through Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of that first week with flat spells and only tiny, weak pulses. The best we see for a while is on Saturday the 12th of July. The Sunday morning actually offers the best of a bad lot: a clean, glassy session with a small 4ft swell from the southeast (96 energy units). It's surfable, but barely, and very ordinary. By Monday the 13th, that tiny window closes, and we're back to next to nothing.
The following week offers no real change. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Wednesday the 16th and Friday the 18th, but the swell is either absent or just a tiny bump. The only other day that even flickers is Monday the 21st, with a clean morning and a slight 3ft southeast swell (39 energy units), but it's still very weak.
This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this run is a classic example. It's not that it's bad for long; it's just that there's nothing here to get excited about. Conditions might be clean on the surface, but without any push from the ocean, you're just floating. Stick with it – forecasts can change – but for now, this is a write-off for paddle surfing.

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.
