The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming our way.
Honestly, the first week or so is a total bust. The swell is either flat, the wind is all over the shop, or we get a proper storm on Saturday the 5th that churns things up. Don't even think about paddling out until after the 11th. Things start to look a little better after that, but it's a long, dry spell.
The one that really stands out is Monday, September 18th at Playa Varesse. That's the day to circle on the calendar. We're talking a solid 10ft swell from the SSE, with a very long 14-second period. The energy in the water is going to be massive (3009), so this is strictly for the experts – anything over 8ft is for the big boys only. The wind is a light offshore from the West, meaning it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is the clear winner.
Before that, there's a couple of sessions worth a look but nothing to write home about. The morning of Monday the 11th has clean, offshore wind, but the swell is a tiny 2ft from the East. It’s surfable, but you'll be working for nothing. On the 12th, we get a solid 6ft south swell with a long 13-second period. The energy is strong (1285) and it stays clean. It's a solid pick, but the 18th is still the better bet. The morning of the 16th also has a clean 5ft SSE swell, which is a nice little window.
From the 3rd right through to the 11th, it's a dry spell. Don't bother. The water temp is pretty much normal for the time of year. Keep your eyes locked on that Monday the 18th.
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.
