The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. I’ve got to level with you—Il Convento is looking pretty bleak over the next 16 days. For an exposed reef and point that usually needs a decent SE swell to get going, the charts are just dead for the most part. There’s a long gap of flatness and poor conditions for the first 11 days, nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t bother checking the forecast until we’re well into the second week.
The water temperature is sittin’ at 83° right now on the Tuesday afternoon of September 1st, which is a whole 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s seriously unusual, like swimming in a bath.
We finally see a pulse of swell arriving around Saturday the 12th. That morning we get some energy out of the SE at about 2 ft, but the period is a short 5 seconds (weak windswell), and the combined energy is only 17—barely a pulse. The wind is a cross-shore breeze from the NE at 9 mph, so it won’t be clean, and the waves will be sloppy. Sunday the 13th actually has the most size of the whole outlook, with 4 ft from the ESE and a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy nudges up to 133, which is moderate, but the wind is cross-on from the east at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and poor quality. The decent swell is wasted. That’s the best on offer, but honestly, for an intermediate spot, it’s still a hard pass.
After that, it fades quickly back to tiny, weak leftovers by Monday the 14th, drowning out to flat again. The entire window has no standout days. This is one of those rare blank runs where it’s just better to wait for the next weather pattern.

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.
