Alright folks, it’s Rusty here with a look at what’s cooking in the Varese region.
To be honest, the first chunk of this forecast is pretty quiet. From Monday morning right through to the end of Sunday the 19th of July, it’s a real lull. The swell is tiny and weak, with tons of cross and cross-onshore wind making for messy, lumpy conditions. The wave energy is barely registering, mostly in the low triple digits or barely breaking 100. It’s more of a kiting zone than a surf zone right now. The water temp is sitting right around the seasonal average.
Things start to perk up on Monday the 20th of July. The morning shows a clean, light breeze at Playa Varesse with the swell at 3ft from the SSE. It’s nothing huge, but it’s rideable.
The real highlight is Tuesday the 21st of July. Get ready for a proper session. The morning brings light offshore winds from the West and clean conditions. The swell is a solid 5ft from the SSE with a long 13-second period, putting some serious power into the water. The combined energy is strong at 630. This is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s not too big for the average surfer, but it’s got plenty of push for a great day out.
Later in the week, the afternoon of Friday the 24th of July brings a spike. You’ll see 6ft from the South but with a short period of 8 seconds, meaning it’ll be a bit bumpy and steep. The energy is strong though, hitting 445. This is more for the experienced crew.
Saturday the 25th also has some decent but marginal swell in the 6ft range from the SSE with clean winds.
After that, the forecast fades out with smaller surf and some messy onshore winds by the 27th and 28th.
The absolute best bet is Tuesday the 21st of July. Clean, 5ft of SSE groundswell, light offshore wind. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
