The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty again. Let me talk you through Il Convento in feet for the locals who think in old-school numbers.
Don’t get too excited, because the next two weeks are mostly a dead zone. There’s a big stretch of flatness, so if you’re after waves, you better be patient.
The water is 82°F, and that’s a solid 5°F warmer than average for this time of year, so the ocean is feeling more like a bath than usual.
The only window that’s worth a mention is on the morning of Saturday, September 12th. At Il Convento (reef and point), we’ll see some knee-high, maybe ankle-high surf from the SE, about 1 foot, with a short 6-second period. The wind is calm, glassy from the NNW, so it’ll be clean as a whistle. The total wave energy is low, around (7). It’s a tiny, weak swell, but the direction is good for this spot. That said, this break doesn’t work often, and it’s inconsistent, so a little wave here is a rare treat. Don’t expect much, but if you want to get wet in clean conditions, that’s your moment.
Later that same Saturday afternoon, the swell picks up to about 3 feet from the ENE, still a short 5-second period, with energy climbing to (43). The wind shifts to a SE onshore, so it’ll be a bit choppy and bumpy. It’s the biggest wave of the whole stretch, but with the wind turning on it and how fluky this break is, it’s not a great option.
The rest of the forecast from the 28th of August right through to the 12th of September is flat, with zero surfable energy. For an inconsistent spot like Il Convento, that’s not surprising, but it’s still a bummer.
So, in short: one small, clean window on the morning of September 12th. Otherwise, save the gas.
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.
