The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Got to level with you – the next couple of weeks are looking like a bit of a drought for surf around here. We’ve got a long, flat run ahead before anything worth paddling out for.
The only real surf option in the 16-day window is Playa Varesse. Problem is, for the first week, it's pretty much a write-off. From now through to the 4th of September, we’re looking at tiny dribbles. Swell heights barely hitting 1ft to 2ft with hardly any energy behind ‘em – expect weak wave energy (values between 24 and 73). Conditions are messy with cross and cross-onshore winds, so it’s more of a float than a surf.
There’s finally a pulse of life around Saturday the 5th of September. A south swell pushes in at 5ft, giving us a moderate energy push (375). The period is only 8 seconds though – a short-period windswell, so don’t expect much push or shape. The morning looks best with offshore WSW winds making it clean. That’s the standout of the whole period. It’s not big enough to scare anyone off, but it’s still a beginner-friendly height.
Sunday the 6th has some leftover south swell at 4ft (energy 258) with glassy offshore winds in the morning – that’ll be clean too, but the quality drops off by afternoon as the wind turns onshore.
After that, it’s back to tiny surf for the rest of the forecast. The water temperature is sitting at about 51°F, which is a full 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s notable, but it’s not going to save the waves.
Honestly, if you’re not desperate, wait for that Saturday the 5th morning session with the south swell and offshore wind. It’s the only real window. The rest of the time, you might be better off doing something else.
Rusty.

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.
