The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about what’s on the table for the next couple weeks. It’s lean. Really lean. We’re looking at a long dry spell with barely a ripple worth chasing, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
Over at Chia, it starts off flat as a pancake. Wednesday the 2nd? Just a 0.3ft bump from the west with a 6-second period. Wind is light cross-off in the morning, but the combined energy is only 1—that’s as weak as it gets. This just repeats: Thursday morning a 0.7ft, Friday a 0.7ft, all short period and no grunt. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The only real pulse shows up Thursday the 10th. That morning we get a 2ft swell from the southeast with a 5-second period. Combined energy climbs to 12—still weak but at least it’s something. Wind is a cross-off from the northwest at 9 mph, so the surface will be clean. For a beginner-friendly break, it’s the best we’ve got in this whole flat period.
After that, it’s back to tiny stuff. Friday the 11th morning gives us a 0.7ft from the west-northwest with an 8-second period and offshore wind from the north. Energy is only 6. Then we hit a dead zone from the 12th through the 15th with nothing but zeros and chop.
Tuesday the 15th afternoon shows a 2ft pulse from the east-northeast with a 4-second period and light cross-onshore wind. Energy hits 7, so at least it’s something to look at. Wednesday the 16th morning offers a 1ft from the east with light cross-shore wind. Still, nothing to write home about.
So what’s the standout? That Thursday the 10th morning. It’s the biggest, cleanest option in the whole outlook, but even that is tiny. There are big gaps of 3-4 days with zero surf. For now, save your energy and wait for a better run.
Stay patient.

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.
