The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break this down for you in feet, miles per hour, and Fahrenheit.

The next couple weeks are a real roller coaster. It kicks off with a couple good windows, then things go quiet or messy for a long stretch. There’s a big gap in the middle with next to nothing, so don’t plan any surf trips around the second week unless you’re chasing a maybe.

Our main spot is Playa Varesse. The best waves of the whole period hit right up front. On Tuesday morning the 11th of August, we’ve got a 5ft south swell rolling in with an 11-second period. The wind is light out of the southwest – almost glassy – so the surface will be clean. Wave energy is moderate at 929. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. That’s your standout session: clean, fun, and works for beginners and experienced alike. Just know that crowds are possible, so get in before the lunch bunch shows up.

Tuesday afternoon, the swell bumps to 6ft from the SSE, but the wind goes cross, and it loses that clean look. Don’t get too excited.

Wednesday morning the 12th of August is another winner: 5ft from the SSE, dead calm winds – zero, glassy – and an 11-second period. Energy drops a bit to 721, but the clean conditions make it a top pick. Get out there early.

From Thursday the 13th onward, it’s a slow downslide. That day sees 4ft but with a cross-onshore breeze that chops it up. After that, we hit a real slump. From the 14th all the way to the 20th of August, waves are tiny – between 2ft and 4ft – and the wind is mostly onshore, cross-on, or too strong. A couple mornings around the 16th and 17th are clean, but the swell is only about 3ft with a short period. Energy readings drop below 150 – weak. Not really worth paddling for.

Friday morning the 21st of August sees a shift: a 2ft south groundswell with a 12-second period. Winds are offshore from the west at 25 mph – clean. But the energy is only 114, so it’s thin and marginal. Only for the hardcore.

Then another flat patch hits from the 22nd to the 24th. But by Monday the 24th of August, the swell picks up to 4ft from the south at 12 seconds. Wind is a light cross from the southeast, so a little bumpy. By Monday afternoon, heights go to 6ft with a 13-second period and energy climbs to 1002 – solid. But the wind swings cross-onshore, messing up the shape.

Tuesday the 25th sees the biggest surf: 6ft from the south at 11 seconds. But both morning and afternoon are hammered by onshore/cross-onshore winds from the east, making for ugly, choppy conditions. At that size and with that wind, it’s way more suited to kite surfing than a clean paddle session.

Wednesday the 26th wraps it up with 5ft from the SSE, period back to 10 seconds, and the wind still cross-onshore. Not worth the effort.

Bottom line: your two real windows are the Tuesday and Wednesday mornings right at the start. After that, you’re looking at a long stretch of nothing, then some size but with poor wind later in the month. The 24th has potential if the wind cooperates, but right now it’s a gamble.

This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
