The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the next couple of weeks. The ocean’s gonna tease us a bit before it finally decides to show up. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much coming first, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet.

The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for is next Friday morning, the 13th. Before that, from now through Thursday, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. Tuesday’s got a nothing swell with a cross-shore breeze, and Wednesday sees a bit more energy but still not enough to get excited about. Thursday stays tiny and choppy. Just flat, ordinary stuff.

Then, on Friday the 13th, we finally see something. A clean 5ft south-southeast swell with a light offshore west wind. That’s the first time we get a proper window, and it looks like a solid chance for Playa Varesse. The water’s sitting at 50°, which is running about 3° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the mild side. The swell energy is moderate at 315, and it’s got a 9-second period, so it should have a bit of push. This is the standout day, no question. But don’t sleep on it—it’s gone by the afternoon when the wind swings onshore.

After that, we drop right back off again. Saturday the 14th is small, Sunday the 15th is flat, and Monday the 16th through Thursday the 19th is all dribble. Nothing on offer. Just a long, boring gap.

Then, the second standout comes in on Sunday the 20th. There’s a solid 8ft south swell arriving, but it’s got a strong south-southwest wind behind it. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s going to be lumpy and rough. It says “clean” on the report, but with that wind strength, it’s going to be a challenge. This is expert territory, not for the faint of heart.

The better of the two is actually Monday the 21st. The swell has backed off to a more manageable 5ft from the southeast, with a light south wind. The period’s up to 9 seconds, and energy is solid at 412. This is a proper, clean, rideable day. Again, it’s a morning window—by afternoon the wind turns cross-shore and messes it up.

After that, we fade out. Tuesday the 22nd is marginal at best, and Wednesday the 23rd is back to tiny, onshore slop. The long-range stuff is promising but less certain, so don’t book your week around it yet.

Bottom line: Sunday morning the 13th and Monday morning the 21st are your best bets for Playa Varesse. The 21st might be the pick of the two for a cleaner, more fun wave. Anything over 5ft here is pushing it for beginners, and the 20th’s 8ft is definitely for the experienced crew only.

Rusty.

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.
