La Chiesa is a beachbreak located in the seaside town of Nettuno. This spot serves as a decent alternative when Lido Garda and Marinaretti get too messy or overcrowded. It usually offers a laid-back vibe, making it a fine choice for surfers looking to catch some waves without dealing with a huge crowd.
The surf here tends to work best with a southeast swell, although south and southwest swells can also bring in some fun waves. It can handle swell sizes up to about 3ft (0.9m), breaking over sand. You can expect both left and right waves, which is nice for variety. For the best conditions, prefer a north wind and aim for low, mid, or high tide. This spot is great for beginners, giving them a chance to practice their skills in a forgiving environment.
Since La Chiesa is in a popular beach area, it can get pretty crowded on weekends and during the summer. If you're looking for a more relaxed session, try to hit it during the off-peak hours. Just be aware of the crowd size and be respectful to others in the water!
