The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Playa Varesse (Varese) in feet and Fahrenheit. Rusty here, and it’s a quiet outlook for the next couple weeks.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much before the first real chance to surf shows up. The first recommendation doesn’t start until Wednesday, September 16th, and it’s a 5ft SSE swell with a 9-second period – marginal, and with a cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be choppy. Honestly, that setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Most of the first week is small – under 3ft – with cross or cross-onshore winds keeping the surface messy. Water temp is 50°F, about 3°F warmer than usual for here, so just a bit above average. Monday, September 21st morning brings a clean offshore wind and a 2ft E swell (9 seconds, 105 combined energy). It’s clean but tiny.
The one day that stands out is Saturday, September 26th. We see a solid SSE swell at 8ft with an 8-second period and strong combined energy of 770. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean. That size is for experienced surfers only – over 8ft is expert territory, and this is close. Sunday the 27th still has a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind turns cross-shore, so the quality drops.
After that, it fades back into small, weak, and wind-affected conditions through the end of the month. September 30th has a weak 2ft SE swell with a decent 11-second period and light cross-offshore wind, but it’s just a grovel. Not a great window for this spot overall.

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.
