The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks around Playa Varesse.

Right off the bat, the water is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 50°F with a solid anomaly of 3°F – that's a touch warmer than normal, so you might be able to get away with a thinner wetsuit.

Honestly, it's a pretty grim start. We're looking at a real dry spell for the first few days. From Wednesday the 19th right through to Friday the 21st, the surf is tiny and the conditions are just poor. There's a little bump in swell on the Friday, but it's still rated as poor surf, so don't get your hopes up.

Then we get a bit of a tease on Saturday the 22nd. The morning is surfable but very ordinary with a 0.6m SSE swell and a 12-second period, but the wind is offshore from the WSW. The combined energy is weak at 120. The real standout is Saturday afternoon. The swell jumps to 1.8m from the S with an 11-second period, and we've got 25 km/h offshore winds from the SW. That's a solid combo, and the combined energy is moderate at 728. Expect very good surf conditions – this is the best on offer for the whole outlook.

Sunday the 23rd is a weird one. The morning has a big 3.0m SSE swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is cross-off from the S. The combined energy is very strong at 2698. That's a lot of power, but the conditions are marginal. It's a big, powerful groundswell, so this is strictly for experienced surfers only. The afternoon cleans up a bit, but the swell drops to 2.5m with a 14-second period, and the wind goes cross-shore from the SSE. Still, the energy is very strong at 2536.

After that, it's pretty much back to square one. From Monday the 24th through to the end of the period, it's almost all poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is small and weak. There's a slight glimmer on Sunday the 30th with a small 0.6m SSE swell and offshore wind from the W, but it's only surfable, not great. The consistency is pretty poor across the board, so we're looking at a long stretch of quiet water.

So, to wrap it up: don't bother with the first few days. Your best bet is to get out there on Saturday the 22nd afternoon for the cleanest and most powerful waves. If you're an expert, Sunday the 23rd morning has size, but it's a bit messy. For the rest, it's a waiting game.

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.
