The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the forecast for Playa Varesse over the next couple of weeks. Got to be straight with you, it’s a grim stretch for the most part. We’re not looking at a lot of wave energy, and the conditions are mostly against us.
The water here is reading at 50.2°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small comfort. But the surf? Mostly weak. The combined energy of the swells is low, often in the double digits – that’s weak energy (81, 70, 58) and not worth getting excited about.
The first real chance of anything decent comes on Sunday, September 13th. The morning shows a little life. We’ve got a 4.3ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds, and clean conditions thanks to a light WNW breeze. The combined energy is at 295 (moderate). It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the best we’ve got. The break is a fairly exposed spot, and it’s a beginner wave, so it’s not going to be too intimidating. Crowds are possible sometimes, so you might see a few others out. The wind is cross-off, so the face should be clean. This is the standout of the whole forecast period.
After that, it goes quiet again. The swell drops right back to almost nothing. There’s a brief pulse on Wednesday, September 16th, with a 4.9ft swell from the S and moderate energy (317), but the wind is cross-off and the conditions are described as marginal. The following day, the 17th, the swell is 4.3ft but the wind turns cross-on and choppy, so that’s a write-off.
The rest of the second week into the 23rd of September is basically flat. You’re looking at swells of 0.7ft to 2.0ft, all with poor to very ordinary conditions. The combined energy drops to single digits and low double digits. Kite surfers might find something to do on the windier days, especially the 11th and 12th when the wind is strong, but for paddle surfing, it’s a blank.
So, to put it simply: if you want to get wet, your best bet is the morning of the 13th of September. After that, it’s a long wait. It’s normal for this area to have these quiet runs, so don’t be too bummed. The forecasts can change, but for now, the 13th is the one to circle.

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.
