The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the 16-day window and honestly, it’s a bit of a slow starter out there. The first week doesn’t offer much in the way of proper surf, with a lot of small, weak, and messy conditions. The real standout is way off in the distance, but it’s worth waiting for.
We’re looking at Varese, and the first decent pick doesn’t pop up until Wednesday, July 24th morning. Before that, it’s a real grind. From July 14th right through to July 23rd, it’s mostly poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, often under 3ft, with periods all over the place and cross-shore or onshore winds messing it up. The combined wave energy barely cracks three digits most days, sitting around 50 to 170 (weak to moderate energy), and it’s just not giving you anything to work with. There’s a brief window on the morning of July 19th where it’s labeled “surfable but very ordinary,” with a 2ft ESE swell and a 10-second period, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The wind is light cross-off, so it’s clean, but the wave is just too weak.
Now, the real news. The best session on offer is July 28th, Tuesday. It’s a long way out, so take it with a pinch of salt, but the forecast looks promising. The morning of the 28th, we’ve got a 3ft SSE swell, a solid 12-second period, and light cross-off winds from the SSW at 6 mph. The afternoon is similar, with a 3ft SSE swell, a 13-second period, and light S winds at 6 mph. The combined energy jumps to 573 and 396 (strong wave energy), which finally feels like real surf. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 50°. For Playa Varesse, this is your window. The SSE swell is a good match for the optimum ESE direction, and the clean, light winds will make for some nice, lined-up waves. Keep in mind, this spot can get crowded sometimes, so get out early.
There’s a final chance on July 29th, Wednesday morning, with a 1ft, 13-second SSE groundswell and offshore WSW winds at 6 mph. The energy is lower (132), but it’s clean. That long period makes it better suited for a point or a reef, but it’s still a surfable option.
Overall, it’s a long, dry spell until the very end. The 28th is the one to circle on the calendar, but it’s a long-range hope.

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.
