The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. We’ve got a long-range look at Playa Varesse, and I’ll be honest—it’s not going to set the world on fire, but there’s one morning that’ll be worth the paddle.
If you’re picking a day, make it Thursday August 27th. The morning brings a south-east swell at 4ft out of the SSE, with a 12-second period. The wave energy sits at moderate 399. The key here is the wind: it goes glassy from the south at just 3 mph. That’s going to give you clean, smooth waves with some decent shape. A sweet setup for a longboard or a mid-length. Heads up though—that period is long enough that it might close out a bit on a straight beach break.
The water? It’s about normal for the season. Nothing wild.
Later Thursday afternoon, the swell drops to 3ft and the wind turns light cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph. Still clean, just smaller.
Now the bad news. From Friday August 28th onward, it gets tiny. Friday morning offers a sad 2ft east swell with clean wind, but that’s about it. From Saturday the 29th all the way through the first week of September, we’re looking at ankle to knee-high surf with mostly poor conditions. There’s a gap of over a week with nothing worth getting excited about.
Around Thursday September 3rd, we get a bump of 4ft from the south, but it’s short-period at 7 seconds and the wind is howling at 31 mph from the SSW. That’s kite territory, not paddle surfing. The rest of that week is similar—small south swell mixed with strong winds.
So really, it’s Thursday the 27th or bust. The rest of the window is flat or ugly. But hey, forecasts change.
Rusty.

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.

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.
