The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about the 16-day stretch ahead for Playa Varesse. Gotta be straight with you, it's a slow start.
We're looking at a real quiet spell through the first week. The water temp is sitting at 50°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's one small win.
The first bit of surf worth mentioning shows up on Sunday the 16th of August – we get some small 4ft swell from the East. It's clean enough with a light breeze, but the energy is only moderate at 155. It's surfable but very ordinary. The wind turns a bit better for Monday the 24th of August, with a bigger 8ft swell from the SSE, and the energy jumps to 1461. Winds are light and offshore, making for excellent conditions, but those waves are for experienced surfers only.
Honestly, the standout here is that Monday the 24th of August morning. The swell is solid, the direction from the SSE is on the money for this break, and it's clean with light offshore wind. If you're an experienced surfer, that's your window. Everything before that is small, weak, and not worth the paddle.
After that, it fades again. There's a smaller 4ft SSE swell on Wednesday the 26th, but the wind turns onshore and choppy, so it's a miss. The rest of the period is mostly tiny surf, under 3ft, with some clean morning windows but not enough power to get excited about.
So to wrap it up: it's a long, quiet stretch with one solid, expert-only peak on the 24th. If you're keen, mark that morning on your calendar. Otherwise, the lake is flat.
Rusty.
