The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Varese region. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty bleak start. We’ve got a lot of days with tiny swell and poor conditions before anything worth paddling out for shows up.
Your first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Sunday, September 6th. That morning, Playa Varesse will see a bump of about 6 ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. That's a moderate wave energy (569). It’s a bit of a lumpy cross-off breeze from the S, so it won’t be perfect, but it's the most size we've had. Be warned, that’s over the 5 ft mark, so it’s getting into the territory that’s a bit too much for beginners. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
After that, it’s a long, dry spell. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are tiny and messy, and from Wednesday the 9th right through to Friday the 11th, it’s just poor surf with almost no energy to speak of. You’d be wrestling with weak, short-period dribble.
We start to see a glimmer of life on Saturday, September 12th. Morning sessions at Playa Varesse will be your best bet that day. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the S, with a short 7-second period, so it’s not got much grunt, but the wind is a gentle offshore from the WSW. It’s surfable, just ordinary. The energy is weak (132).
The real standout of this 16-day window is shaping up for Thursday, September 17th. That morning is the one to circle. Playa Varesse is looking at a solid 5 ft from the S (531 energy), with an 11-second period. That’s a nice groundswell. The kicker here is the wind: a gentle offshore from the WSW. That’s going to clean up the face and give you some proper, lined-up waves. This is the pick of the period, though it’s far off and we’ll need the forecasts to hold, but it’s got everything going for it.
This spot can sometimes draw a few others, so keep that in mind for the 17th. For the rest of the time, keep your expectations low. There is a notable gap with no real surf from the 8th right through to the 11th. That's a few days of flatness.

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.

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.
