The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Playa Varesse.
Right now, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell to sit through. The first week of August is pretty much a write-off for any decent waves. From Saturday the 1st right through to Thursday the 7th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for – choppy, weak, onshore junk, or just plain flat. You’ll be waiting a while.
The real action kicks off on Saturday the 8th of August. That morning, the swell jumps to 8ft from the SSE, with a 12-second period, and it’s glassy – dead calm. That’s clean, lined-up surf with moderate energy (1437). By the afternoon, it’s a touch bigger at 8ft, 13 seconds, and still glassy. The energy jumps to 2088 – strong. This is the standout window. The swell direction (SSE) is a bit off from the optimum ESE, but with glassy conditions and that power, it’s the best on offer. Just be aware – at this size, over 8ft, it’s only for experienced surfers. Beginners should give it a miss. Crowds are possible here.
Sunday the 9th, the swell holds at 8ft from the SSE, 13 seconds, but the wind swings to a moderate cross-off from the SSW at 25 km/h. The quality drops back a bit. The energy is still strong (1756), but it’s not as clean as Saturday. By Monday the 10th, the swell drops to 5ft (12 seconds) in the morning, and the energy is moderate (620). The afternoon looks better with 4ft, 11 seconds, clean offshore wind from the west at 20 km/h – that’s good surf conditions (404). That’s your second-best window.
After Tuesday the 11th, the swell fades fast. The rest of the second week is small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore. Nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: the absolute standout is Saturday the 8th of August. Glassy, solid SSE groundswell, strong energy. If you’re experienced, don’t miss it. Monday the 10th afternoon is a decent backup, but it’s much smaller. The rest of the month so far doesn’t offer much.
Rusty.

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.
