The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here for the roundup. This 16-day run kicks off with a proper flat spell, so leave the board in the garage. The first few days are a total bust with tiny, weak swell and messy wind. It’s a long stretch of nothing until the lake finally wakes up.
The first real chance to get wet comes on the morning of Wednesday, July 30th. At Playa Varesse (Varese), we’ve got a little 4ft south swell with a clean 9-second period. The wind is light and offshore, so the surface will be buttery. The overall energy is moderate (275), so not a beast, but it’s a welcome sight. The water’s about average for the season. Crowds are possible here, so get there early to snag a clean one.
The big one, the session you want to plan for, is the morning of Monday, August 3rd. The lake is gonna fire with a chunky 12ft south swell, with a 9-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore, making for clean, glassy conditions. The energy is massive at 2591. This is strictly for the experienced crew—way too big for beginners. It’s a long way out, so don’t lock it in, but this is the best bet of the whole window.
Rusty out.

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