The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for this stretch.
Straight up, it’s a grim run for Il Convento. We’re looking at a long, flat spell that stretches all the way from Monday the 31st of August right through to Saturday the 12th of September. That’s nearly two weeks with nothing but a dead ocean. The water temp is a wild 84°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, almost like bathwater, but with absolutely no swell to enjoy it in.
We finally see a tiny flicker of life on the morning of Sunday the 13th of September. A trace of SW swell, maybe 0.3ft, with a short period of 4 seconds. The energy is basically non-existent, reading just 1 (weak). The wind is light and offshore from the NNW though, so the morning will be glassy clean, but you’ll be bobbing around on a pond. Il Convento is an inconsistent reef and point setup that needs a good SE swell to fire, and this little blip from the SW is the wrong direction entirely. By the afternoon, the cross-onshore wind messes it up anyway.
Monday the 14th of September offers a similar story – a tiny 0.3ft swell from the NE, again a poor direction for this spot, with barely any energy (1). The morning is glassy with a light breeze, but it's just not enough to surf on.
To be honest, there’s nothing here to get excited about. The only true standout – and I use the term loosely – would be the glassy morning on the 13th if you’re desperate for a paddle in clean, warm water. But for real waves, this 16-day window is a total write-off.
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.
