You multiply by the matrix of the reciprocal lattice vectors in 1/Å (I 
never remember if on the left or on the right, but you'll be able to 
find out with a few minutes of pen-and-paper algebra)

However, I would say crystal coordinates are not ideal to work with 
surfaces, if you want to test convergence with the amount of vacuum.
