The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down. First week is a total bust. From Saturday July 25th through Monday August 3rd, the swell is tiny, weak, and mostly junk. You get a few clean windows – Sunday the 26th afternoon and Tuesday the 28th – but the waves are barely ankle-high. The combined energy stays under 100 (weak) for most of it. Don’t even bother.

Then things finally wake up. Wednesday the 29th afternoon shows a 1.4m swell from the south at 9 seconds, energy jumping to 335 (moderate), but it’s still a marginal call. Thursday the 30th morning is a bit better: 1.0m from the SSE, clean with a light breeze, but energy is only 190. Surfable, but nothing to write home about.

The real standout is Tuesday August 4th afternoon at Playa Varesse (Varese). A solid 2.2m swell from the east at 11 seconds, combined energy at 1170 (strong). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean. This is the best of the whole run – a proper groundswell with that direction matching the optimum ESE, so it’s got shape and power. Water temp is about average for the time of year, no big deal.

Wednesday August 5th is nearly as good. 2.0m from the ESE at 12 seconds, energy 1102 (strong), and glassy offshore wind in the morning. That’s a session. Swell is head-high to a bit over, so it’s not for beginners – anything over 1.5m is for the experienced crew.

After that, it drops off. Thursday the 6th fades, Friday the 7th turns choppy and onshore. Saturday the 8th has clean conditions but the swell is under 1.0m. Sunday the 9th shows a big energy spike (1475) but the wind is cross-shore and messy, so it’s marginal.

Over the full 16 days, the first week is a dead loss. The second week has the goods, but it’s a short window. Aim for the 4th and 5th of August. The rest is just waiting.

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.
