The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about the coming swell window for Varese.
It starts quiet. Real quiet. For the next week or so, there just isn't any surf worth talking about. Small, messy, blown out—a real flat spell. That gap is about a week long.
Then, things change on Sunday the 23rd of August. We get a new SSE swell pushing 8ft with a 12-second period. The water temp is about 50°, which is a touch warmer than usual. The wind is light cross-offshore, keeping things clean. The energy jumps up strong. It's a good sign, but not the best of the run.
The day to really have your eyes on is Monday the 24th of August. At Playa Varese, we'll see a solid 7ft to 7ft S to SSE groundswell with an 11-second period. The wind looks fantastic—light and variable, going glassy by the afternoon. That is as clean as it gets. The energy in the water is very strong. This is the one for experienced surfers who want proper waves.
That swell hangs in through the 25th and 26th, still running 7ft to 8ft. The period stretches out to 15 seconds on the 26th (Wednesday), which is a very long period groundswell. That kind of energy is great for points and reefs, but on a beach break it can get a bit too straight and fast. The wind also gets a little trickier, turning onshore or cross-onshore. It’s still surfable and clean, but you have to know your banks.
By the 28th of August, the wave heights drop back down, and the swell turns into a shorter period ENE windswell.
Overall, you’re looking at a long wait for the good stuff. The whole setup runs from Sunday the 23rd to about Wednesday the 26th. Monday the 24th is clearly the standout at Playa Varese with the best combo of size and glassy conditions. The energy on the 26th is huge but needs careful handling. Get out there when it cleans up.
Rusty.

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.
