The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Playa Varesse.
Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks look pretty grim. We’re staring down a long, quiet stretch with hardly any decent surf to get excited about. There’s a bit of a wait ahead. From now through to late September, the swell is small, the energy is weak, and conditions are just ordinary. There is a real gap here for most of the period with nothing worth paddling out for. You’d be better off leaving the board in the shed until the very end.
The water is sitting at 51°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the temperature isn’t adding to the misery.
The first time we see anything close to surfable is on Friday the 25th of September. On the Friday afternoon, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the ENE direction, with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is offshore from the W at 15 mph, keeping things clean, but the wave energy is really low at only 64 (weak). It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That’s the best we’ve got, and it’s not saying much. For a beginner, it might be okay for a splash, but there’s no power or shape to get excited about.
After that, the forecast drops back into poor conditions with no real improvement through the end of the period. There’s no standout day, no proper swell, and no clean glassy window that makes it worth a special trip.
So, the honest truth: Playa Varesse is a write-off for the next 16 days. The only faint glimmer is that Friday the 25th afternoon, but keep expectations rock bottom. It tends not to stay this flat forever, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
