Playa Varesse Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a bit of a slow start, so don’t be in a rush. We’re looking at a period that’s really setting up for some action in the back half of the forecast window.

The first real chance to get wet is Wednesday the 5th. It’s not much, just some small, clean surfable waves. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a small bonus. But honestly, it’s pretty ordinary, so don’t expect any fireworks.

Thursday the 6th is a write-off. We’ve got some cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions, so the surf is going to be poor. Give it a miss.

Friday the 7th brings a little more life with a cleaner, offshore morning, but again, it's just surfable, nothing to get too excited about. It’s not worth planning your day around.

Then the weekend, the 8th and 9th, the swell just completely fades away. We’re talking knee-high slop with hardly any energy. It’s a total flat spell. You’d be better off doing something else.

We see a little bump on Monday the 10th in the afternoon, but it’s still pretty poor. However, that’s the precursor. The energy is starting to build.

Now, here’s where things get interesting. The standout is Tuesday the 11th. We’ve got a solid new swell arriving, coming from the SSE. The energy jumps right up (757), and the wind is light and cross-offshore, which should keep things pretty clean. We’re looking at head-high to maybe a bit overhead surf at Playa Varesse (Varese). This is the pick of the bunch, the one you want to make time for. The crowds can be a factor here sometimes, but for waves like this, it’s worth sharing the line-up.

Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th continue to offer up good conditions. The swell eases a touch but stays consistent, with light winds and glassy afternoons. The energy is still strong (583 on Wednesday). These are solid days for a point break or a reef, as the period is long enough to wrap in nicely.

Then it starts to get messy again. Friday the 14th and the weekend of the 15th and 16th, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops right off. Poor surf is back on the cards, so that’s a gap for you. Looks like the middle weekend is a no-go.

The following week starts with a stormy pulse. Monday the 17th gets big but with a short, messy period and strong winds. It’s not for the faint-hearted. Then Tuesday the 18th sees the swell peak, with a lot of energy (2522) and wave heights reaching 10ft. This is big, powerful, and only for the experts. The period is around 10 seconds, so it’ll be a heavy, dumpy sort of wave. Most of us should be on the beach watching this one.

After that, things settle down again. Wednesday the 19th looks like another decent, clean option with smaller surf and a good offshore wind. A good rebound day.

So, if you’re looking for the one, that’s Tuesday the 11th. It’s got the size, the direction, and the clean conditions. The big pulse on the 18th is more of a spectacle than a surf. The rest is just pickin’ through the scraps.

Alright, stay stoked.
