The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into what’s lookin’ good for us around these parts.
The 16-day window stretches out, but honestly, it’s a lean start. We’re not seeing any real surf worth paddling out for until Sunday morning, the 6th of September. The first few days are flat out poor, with tiny waves and messy winds. That’s a fair gap of a few days with nothin’ to recommend.
The real standout for this whole period is shaping up for Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the SSE, with a very long period of 14 seconds. That’s genuine groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a massive 4164 – that’s very strong. The wind is offshore from the NW, keepin’ things clean. This is big, powerful stuff though. Over 8ft, so it’s strictly for the experienced crew. For a beach break like Playa Varesse, that long period might make the waves a bit too straight and fast, so you’ll want to pick your bank. The water temperature is 51°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a bonus.
Before that, there’s a bit of a tease on Sunday morning, the 6th. We’ve got a 8ft swell from the south with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is 1577 – moderate to strong. Winds are cross-off from the south, so it’ll be clean. But the call is marginal, questionable tide conditions maybe. Still, for those who need a paddle, it’s your best bet before the big one.
The next morning, Monday the 14th, also has a bit of life. A 5ft SSE swell with a 10-second period and light offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is 634 – moderate. It’s clean, but it’s a step down in size from the 16th.
The later part of the week after the 16th drops off again into messy, smaller conditions. So, the clear winner is that Wednesday morning, the 16th of September. It’s a long way out, so the details might shift, but the promise of a big, clean, long-period swell is what you’re waiting for.
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.

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.
