The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it. Look, I’ll be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for the surf around here. We’re looking at Il Convento, a reef and point set-up that really needs something from the southeast to light up. Unfortunately, for the next couple of weeks, that’s just not happening. We’ve got a long, dry spell on our hands, so don’t be in a rush.
Starting from Sunday, the 23rd of August right through the entire 16-day window, the swell is just tiny – we’re talking knee-high at best. The combined wave energy barely gets out of the single digits, maxing out at a weak 65 on Tuesday the 25th afternoon, and that’s with a messy south-southwest cross-onshore. Not worth paddling for. Most mornings are clean enough, especially when the wind goes light offshore or glassy, like on Friday the 28th morning with that glassy feel – but with only 1ft of weak 5-second swell and an energy reading of just 7, it’s flat as a tack. There’s just no grunt behind it.
Water temperature is sitting at 84°F, which is a massive 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit.
The real kicker is that from Wednesday, the 2nd of September, right through to Sunday the 6th, we’ve got multiple days where the swell is completely flat – zero combined energy, zilch. That’s a proper gap of almost a week with absolutely no surf to recommend. It’s not until Monday the 7th of September that we see a whisper of life, with 0.7ft from the SSE and a light offshore, but again, that’s not going to get anyone excited.
So what’s the best on offer? Honestly, there isn’t a standout in this whole window. The best conditions for a surf will be on the morning of Friday the 28th of August. It’s glassy, the wind is a slight air from the WNW, and the water is clean, but the swell is a measly 1ft from the southeast with a period of 5 seconds and combined energy of just 7. It’s barely a ripple. If you’re desperate for a paddle and a tan, that’s your moment, but don’t expect a wave to ride. For anything with a bit of push, we’re out of luck this run.
This area is known for being inconsistent, and this forecast is a prime example of that. It won’t stay poor forever – forecasts can change – but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
