Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa Varesse over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Right, let’s switch to feet and Fahrenheit, and keep it real.
The surf window starts quiet and slowly builds. The first good chance is Sunday 2nd August. Early morning at Playa Varesse, the swell is about 3ft from the S, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (272). The wind is glassy – dead calm – so the waves will be clean and smooth. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
Monday 3rd August is the next highlight. The morning kicks off with 5ft swell from the SE around 10 seconds, with light offshore wind and strong energy (532). The afternoon gets even better: 6ft from the ESE, period 9 seconds, light cross-offshore breeze, and energy at 774 (strong). That’s the most powerful, cleanest swell of the whole run. Tuesday 4th August morning is still decent with 5ft, but the wind turns onshore later.
Everything after that drops off. Wednesday 5th sees smaller 4ft waves, and by the second week (from 8th August onwards), the swell is mostly between 1ft and 3ft, with choppy cross-onshore winds or just weak conditions. The only small bright spot is Monday 10th August afternoon with 3ft clean conditions, but it’s not worth a long drive.
For the standout sessions, hit Sunday 2nd morning for clean glassy conditions with a solid 3ft, or Monday 3rd afternoon for the biggest clean swell of the whole 16 days at 6ft. That one might be a touch big for beginners, but the offshore flow will hold it together. Crowds are possible at the break, so get there early.

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.
