The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks at Chia.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet outlook for Chia. We’re looking at a long stretch of ankle-to-knee-high dribble and plenty of flat spells. The water temp is running about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The best we’ve got isn't much, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, Thursday the 10th early morning has a tiny bit of energy – 1 ft from the WNW at 8 seconds. Combined swell energy is still weak at (28), but we’ve got a light offshore wind from the NW. It’ll be clean, but really small and weak.
Friday the 11th morning is similar – 1 ft from the WNW, but with very short period (4 seconds), so the waves will lack any real push. The wind is offshore from the NW at 9 mph, so it’ll look glassy. Again, just not much to work with.
For the rest of the outlook, most days show zero surf or nothing rideable, especially from the 12th onwards. There’s a long gap with no recommendations at all from Saturday the 12th afternoon right through to the end of the period. The setup during these flat, windy afternoons – with moderate to fresh cross-off winds – might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So honestly, if you want a session, your best bet is the morning of Thursday the 10th or Friday the 11th. It’s not going to be exciting, but it’s clean and you’ll have it to yourself.
Rusty.

Information about the Chia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Chia provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Chia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Chia 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 (Chia) 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 Chia 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.
Chia is 32 km (20 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.
