The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the Varese region over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with ya – this is a tough stretch. The first few days are a write-off. We’re looking at a real dry spell from Sunday the 19th of July all the way through to the end of the month. The water is hanging around 50°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the energy is just not there. It’s a long gap of flat, messy conditions.
We finally get a glimmer of hope rolling into the first week of August. The real standout, the one you wanna circle on your calendar, is Sunday morning, August 2nd. Playa Varesse is looking like the pick of the litter. We’ve got a clean 3 ft groundswell rolling in from the SE, with a long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper energy, with a combined energy reading of 302 (moderate wave energy). The wind is coming from the NW at 9 mph, putting it in a cross-offshore position, which means the faces will be nice and clean. This is a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s not a heavy wave, but with that long period, the sets will be well-spaced and the paddling out will be a breeze. Keep in mind, with a long period swell like this, it can sometimes break a bit straight at a beach, but for a beginner spot, that’s actually a bonus. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.
The Saturday before (August 1st) is also worth a mention, but it’s not as clean. The afternoon session sees a bit more size at 3 ft from the ESE with a 13-second period and 328 energy (moderate), but the wind is more cross-shore, so it’ll have a bit of bump on it. Still a solid option if the Sunday doesn’t work for you.
This is a waiting game, folks. The first week is a bust, but that second Sunday has a bit of magic to it. A bit of patience and you’ll be rewarded.
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.
