The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here, checkin' in with a look at what's on the cards for Il Convento.
We've got a long stretch of flatness and small, weak surf ahead. Honestly, for the next week and a half, you're looking at a whole lot of nothing. The first real chance of a wave doesn't show up until August 17th, so that's a solid 11-day gap with no recommendations.
For a place that's a reef and point break, this kind of dead spell isn't unusual. The swell window just isn't firing, but the water's clean and glassy on plenty of mornings if you just want a paddle.
The only glimmer comes on Monday August 17th. We've got a small SSE swell rolling in, about 3ft, but the period is a short 4 seconds, so it's gonna be weak and a bit crumbly. The combined energy is only 35, so it's not gonna get the heart racing. The morning sees a slight WNW breeze, keeping it clean, which is a plus. But honestly, for an exposed reef and point that loves a good SE swell direction, this one's not gonna light it up. It's small, weak, and more of a tease than a proper session.
After that, it drops back to tiny and weak through the rest of the window, with more glassy mornings but close to no push. If you're desperate for a splash, the morning of the 17th might give you a few ankle-biters on the cleaner side, but there's nothing that qualifies as a standout. Don't hold your breath.
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.
