The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you—this stretch from now through mid-September is looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. There’s a heap of waiting involved, with small, poor-quality waves and messy winds taking up most of the first week. You’ve got a couple of glimpses of hope, but you’ll need to be patient and pick your moments.

We kick off Tuesday the 1st with near-flat conditions at Playa Varesse. Tiny 1 ft easterly windswell (combined energy of all swells directed here is just 29) with a short 8-second period. Wednesday the 2nd is hardly better—same size and still poor. Thursday the 3rd morning offers a small step up to 2 ft from the east, and with a gentle offshore breeze the surface is clean, but the wave heights are barely worth suiting up. Friday the 4th morning sees a bit more juice: 3 ft from the south, 7-second period, weak energy (152), and clean onshore—still very ordinary for a beginner-friendly beach.

Saturday the 5th is a write-off. Strong winds (40 km/h) in the morning with tiny swell, then a jump to 7 ft in the afternoon but with howling cross-off shore winds making it a mess. Sunday the 6th brings the biggest swell so far: 7 ft from the SSE, moderate energy (795), but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle session—exposed beach setup, choppy as all hell.

Monday the 7th is the first real standout in this outlook. The morning has 5 ft from the SSE (combined energy 429) with light offshore wind, clean and glassy. For a beginner spot, that’s around the upper limit of doable, but the conditions will be tidy. Afternoon onshore ruin it, so get out early. After that, the surf drops right off through the rest of the week with nothing rideable—tiny swell, wonky winds, and poor quality across the board.

Then we get a promising long-range option. On Friday the 11th morning, the swell jumps to 8 ft from the SSE (energy 605), with gentle offshore wind—clean surf. That’s a solid size, pushing into intermediate territory, and the direction matches the optimum ESE exposure of the break. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and fat on the beach, but for a point or reef setup it could line up okay. It’s a bit of a gamble this far out, but if it holds, that’s your best session of the fortnight. The water temperature is about average for the season.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th hold some size—8 ft dropping to 5 ft—but the winds turn cross-shore and lumpy, so it’s not worth the paddle for most. From Monday the 14th onward it fades back to small, poor, and mostly onshore junk until Wednesday the 16th morning, where you get a glassy 1 ft bump from the ENE—clean but tiny.

Bottom line: if you’re a beginner, stick to the small clean windows on Thursday 3rd or Monday 7th morning. For the more experienced crew, circle Friday 11th morning—it could be the one that delivers. Otherwise, it’s a lot of waiting.

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.
