The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. It’s a tough one. Gonna be straight with you – the surf outlook for Varazze over the next 16 days is a real struggle. There’s just no proper swell on the cards. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to start, with the first real sign of any surfable energy not showing up until Wednesday afternoon on the 9th of September, and even then, it’s barely a whisper.
Let’s talk about Varazze, a reef break that’s fairly consistent when conditions align. The water is sitting at a balmy 81.3°, which is a massive 8.8° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, feels more like a bath than the sea.
The first sniff of a wave comes on Wednesday the 9th. The afternoon sees a tiny 2.6ft swell from the SSW with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 56 (moderate energy), so it’s weak. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, which is a positive, but the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and I’d have to agree. It’s a one-out-of-ten kind of day.
After that, it’s back to the waiting game. The 10th of September has a bit of activity with a 1.3ft SSE swell Thursday morning and a 1ft one in the afternoon, both with a 5-second period. The energy is tiny (12 and 4). The wind is offshore from the NNW, which would normally be a dream, but the swell is just too anemic. Clean conditions, but no waves to surf.
The rest of the 16-day window is a ghost town. We’re talking days of nothing from the 11th through to the 19th of September. There’s a brief moment on the 19th of September, Saturday afternoon, where we see a 0.3ft SE swell with a 6-second period, glassy conditions from a light WNW breeze, and a combined energy of 3. It’s clean, but it’s smaller than a ripple in a puddle.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The whole period is a write-off. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a blank run. The consistent nature of Varazze means it tends not to stay this poor for long, but this forecast is a tough one to swallow. If you’re desperate, wait for the wind to turn offshore on the 10th, but even then, you’re just looking at a clean, flat ocean. The best advice is to just wait for the next system.

Information about the Varazze Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Varazze provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Varazze can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Varazze 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 (Varazze) 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 Varazze 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.
Varazze is 3 km (2 miles) from the city of Savona. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Savona. Savona has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
