The Lowdown
Right, listen up, folks. Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for this stretch of coast. The forecast window is a long one, but I gotta be straight with you – it's a proper dry spell for most of it. We're looking at a whole lot of flat, messy, or just plain average days before we finally get a sniff of something decent.
The first real chance of a wave comes on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. Playa Varesse is showing a small 3ft swell from the south with a period of just 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (115), so it's not exactly gonna be pumping. The wind is a light cross-offshore though, keeping the surface clean. It's a beginner-friendly spot, and the waves are tiny, but at least it's not a total blown-out mess. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 50°F.
The afternoon of that same day, July 29th, gets glassy. The swell drops right off to 1.0ft on a very long period of 14 seconds, from the SSE. The energy is almost nothing (58). That lingering long-period groundswell will be too weak to do much, but for a complete flat spell, a glassy afternoon is a nice way to wait.
Then we hit a huge gap. From Thursday, July 30th, all the way through to Sunday, August 10th, the surf is pretty much a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is small, or the energy is just too weak to bother with. There's a bit of a pulse on the 3rd and 4th of August with some moderate energy (276 and 234), but with cross-onshore winds and messy conditions, it's a hard pass. Even the cleaner days around the 5th and 6th only have small, weak swell. It's a long, long wait.
Now, for the one stand-out in the whole 16-day window. The morning of Monday, August 10th finally brings some promise. Playa Varesse gets a solid 5ft swell from the south with a 10-second period. The combined energy hits 409 (strong). The wind is a light south offshore and the report says "expect good surf conditions". This is the one to aim for. The size is getting up there, but it's still manageable for most competent surfers. The shorter period of 10 seconds means it'll be a bit more consistent and punchy on the sandbanks, rather than walling up.
All in all, it's a grim outlook for the next two weeks. The only real highlight is that Monday the 10th. Mark it in your calendar, but don't hold your breath for the rest of it.
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.
