The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Playa Varesse.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch for the next week or so. We’ve got a long, flat spell of poor surf conditions with very little to get excited about until the second week. The water temp is sitting around 51°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s barely a wave to ride.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday the 13th of September. That morning, the wind goes glassy, and we get a 4ft swell from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 446 (moderate). The conditions are described as glassy, which is a big plus. The break is consistent and beginner-friendly, though crowds are sometimes an issue. For a beginner-friendly spot, that’s a decent option, but it’s hardly a standout.
The true standout in this 16-day window is shaping up for Thursday the 17th of September. The early morning session is looking prime for experienced surfers. We’re expecting a solid 10ft swell from the SSE with a long period of 15 seconds – that’s groundswell, folks. The combined energy is a massive 3688 (strong to very strong). The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the S at 15 km/h, so the surf will be clean. 10ft is big, definitely expert-only territory. The long period means it’ll be powerful and lully, so it’s best for a reef or point setup, but Playa Varesse is a beach break, so take that into account. Still, this is the best wave on offer.
The week before that, on Wednesday the 16th of September, there’s a 10ft swell from the S, but the conditions are called marginal, with a cross-offshore wind. It’s there, but it’s not as clean as the Thursday morning.
There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations from the 7th through to the 12th, and then again after the 17th we’re back to poor conditions. The Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th look like a write-off. So, if you’re keen, you’re looking at a very narrow window: the Sunday morning glass-off, and the Thursday the 17th morning for the big stuff.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait for a short payoff.
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.

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.
