The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's cooking for the Varese region. The forecast starts with a little action, but there's a long, quiet stretch in the middle.

We can get wet starting Thursday morning, August 27th. Playa Varesse is the spot – a beginner-friendly break. The water is about 50°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Thursday morning is clean with a light WNW cross-offshore breeze. The swell is coming from the SE at 4 ft with a 12-second period – nice, long-period groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (359). This is the best of the near-term, with clean conditions and a long-period swell that'll wrap in nicely.

Thursday afternoon sees the swell drop a touch to 3 ft, but still with that clean cross-off breeze. Friday morning, August 28th, has smaller 2 ft waves from the east, and the period drops to 9 seconds. It's surfable but ordinary, with a light breeze. By Friday afternoon and into Saturday, the swell really fades, and the wind swings onshore, making for poor conditions.

From Sunday, August 30th, right through until Tuesday, September 8th, we're in a proper slump. The swell is tiny, often under 2 ft, with poor winds and cross-chop. Even a 4 ft spike on September 5th with a 5-second period is a dud – just wind chop. This is a long, dry spell for the area.

Now for the standout in the longer range. Look at Thursday, September 10th. The morning session at Playa Varesse is the one to circle. The combined swell energy is a massive 901 – strong wave energy. You've got a 6 ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period – a proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-off from the WNW, keeping the surface glassy. This is the best on offer across the whole forecast, but being a couple of weeks out, it's promising but not locked in yet. The swell is over 5 ft, so it might be pushing it for beginners, but for anyone with experience, this is the day to be out.

The afternoon of the 10th sees the swell drop to 6 ft, but the wind swings onshore, making for more marginal conditions. After that, it fades out again into smaller, clean but ordinary surf on Friday the 11th.

So, to sum it up: grab Thursday morning, August 27th for a clean, fun session. But the real prize is Thursday morning, September 10th. Everything else is either flat, blown out, or just ordinary.

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.
