About This Spot
La Ciaccia is a north-facing beach break located on the Sardinian coast in Italy. The spot features a sandy beach with a developed residential area immediately inland, characteristic of Mediterranean coastal towns. The water body is the Tyrrhenian Sea with relatively light swell conditions averaging 0.69m. Best wind conditions are from the east (side-shore), which keeps riders parallel to the coast and away from residential areas. The spot experiences very low wind reliability at 9.7%, making consistent sessions rare. Water temperatures average 17.8°C, requiring a wetsuit in cooler months. This location suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm, manageable conditions in protected waters. The shallow approach and sandy bottom reduce injury risk from hard impacts. Key considerations include waiting for rare favorable wind windows, being aware of the busy residential setting, and respecting the limited fetch that constrains wave development. The low wind reliability makes this a secondary option compared to more exposed Mediterranean spots.
