Table - best surf conditions forecast for Playa Varesse over the next 16 days.
Alright mates, Rusty here giving you the lowdown for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a slow start, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
The first real chance to wet a line comes on Sunday, 13th July, but it’s just a little hint. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the ESE with a long 13-second period, which sounds good, but the energy is weak (317). The wind is a clean cross-off, so it’ll look glassy, but it’s marginal. It’s a beginner break, so if you’re just starting out, you might snag a few. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 50°.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Monday the 14th through Saturday the 19th, it’s all poor conditions. Waves are tiny, the period drops, and the wind gets messy. Not worth paddling out for a full week.
Things start to rumble back to life on Monday, 21st July with a 7ft SE swell, but it’s bumpy with cross-shore wind and a short period. The energy is strong (1889), but it’s not clean. Hold out a bit longer.
The real standout is Wednesday, 23rd July. This is the day. We’ve got a solid 10ft SE groundswell with a 12-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WSW at 12 mph, keeping it clean. The energy is pumping (2221). This is for experienced surfers only – it’s way too big for beginners. The wave conditions are rated excellent. Playa Varesse is the spot to be on Thursday morning. The wind stays offshore through the afternoon as the swell drops to 8ft, still excellent.
There’s some leftover swell on Thursday the 24th, but the wind turns onshore and ruins it. By the weekend of the 26th and 27th, the swell is massive again – 13ft to 15ft – but the wind is cross-onshore, and the forecast says it’s simply too big for this break. Kite surfers might be loving it, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.
So, circle Wednesday, 23rd July on your calendar. That’s your one true standout. The rest is either flat, marginal, or just too crazy and messy.
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.
