The Lowdown
Alright, gents, Rusty here. Let’s get into the outlook for our local zone.
First off, the water temp is running right about normal for this time of year, so no chilly surprises.
The immediate future, starting Sunday the 26th, is pretty grim. We’ve got a tiny, weak SSE swell with moderate energy (62) on Sunday morning, but it’s just ordinary, ankle-slapping stuff. The rest of Sunday and most of Monday look poor with messy cross-shore wind and tiny swell. Then we hit a real dry patch.
From Monday afternoon through until the end of July, it’s almost a complete write-off. The waves are either too small, too choppy, or blown out. There is a brief bit of hope on Wednesday the 29th afternoon when the wind goes glassy. That’s the real story there – clean, smooth conditions – but with only 3ft of south swell with a short period of 9 seconds, it’s barely surfable. It’s more about the serenity than the surf.
Thursday the 30th morning offers a similar story: small, weak, but clean with light cross-off wind. Not a standout, just a chance to get a wetsuit on.
Friday the 31st is a total loss with onshore wind. The first week of August is mostly a right-off, with building but poor-quality easterly windswell. The energy picks up significantly on the 1st and 2nd of August, hitting 667 (moderate to strong), but the wind is cross-onshore to onshore, making it a messy, choppy mess. The 3rd of August sees onshore wind with 6ft of east swell (468 energy), but it is poor and blown out – more of a kite-surfing session than a paddle session.
Our first real standout window arrives on Wednesday the 5th of August morning. Playa Varesse gets a clean sweep with 3ft of east swell at a solid 10-second period. The kicker is a moderate offshore wind from the WSW, keeping the face clean. The energy is moderate (203) but combined with clean conditions and a decent period, it’s the first legitimately surfable morning in over a week.
Building on that, Sunday the 9th of August morning is the best call of the entire 16-day outlook. The swell is solid 4ft from the south, period is a nice 10 seconds, and with clear skies and a strong, clean offshore breeze from the west, conditions will be excellent. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a healthy 283. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
There’s a big gap of poor or no surf from the 5th afternoon through until that Sunday, spanning several days. But that Sunday morning is the clear winner for the whole two weeks.
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.
