The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the Varese region.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. The first few days aren’t offering much to get excited about. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st have some swell, but the conditions are marginal and the energy is weak. The best bet for a real surf session won’t pop up until Sunday the 23rd.
That Sunday is the standout. We’ve got a solid 10 ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 14 seconds, building to 15 seconds in the afternoon. That’s a long-period groundswell, and it’s packing some serious punch – the combined energy is a massive 4066 (moderate to strong). The wind is a gentle 9 mph from the S, which is a cross-offshore breeze, so the faces will be clean. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The break is Playa Varesse, and it’s fairly exposed with an optimum swell from the ESE, so this SSE swell is a good match. Water temps are about average for the time of year. This is the one to circle.
After that, Monday the 24th drops off. The swell is still there at 7 ft, but the wind switches to a light cross-shore from the N, and the conditions are marginal. By Tuesday the 25th, it’s weak and messy again.
Later in the week, Wednesday the 26th shows a bit of hope. The swell drops to 4 ft from the SE, but the period is a long 14 seconds, and the combined energy is 662 (moderate). The wind is a gentle 9 mph from the WNW, giving a clean cross-offshore look. It’s a good, clean option for a session, but nothing like the Sunday energy.
The rest of the week into early September is a real dribbler. There’s a huge gap from Sunday the 30th right through to the end of the forecast with nothing but tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. The morning of the 1st of September has a little 4 ft from the S with an offshore wind, but it’s 8-second period and the wave state is “ordinary.” Not worth dragging your board down for.
So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is absolutely Sunday the 23rd of August. That’s the big one. After that, Thursday the 27th morning and Wednesday the 26th afternoon are your only other decent-looking windows, but they’re not in the same league. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
