The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it for the region.
Right off the bat, we've got a tricky start. For the next several days, things are looking pretty small and junky. The real energy is waiting for us later on.
We've got Playa Varesse as the main spot here. The water temp is reading a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at about 51°, which is a nice bonus for the first session.
Things are looking up a bit later in the period. The standout session looks to be Sunday, September 27th. Late in the afternoon, we’re looking at a solid 5 ft swell coming from the S, with a long period of 13 seconds. That long period means real groundswell energy, and the wave energy reading is a very strong 901. The wind is gentle offshore from the SW, which will keep the face clean. It’s not the biggest, but the combo of clean conditions and good energy makes this the pick of the month.
The build-up to that starts Tuesday, September 22nd. The afternoon brings a spike in size to 8 ft from the S with a 14-second period. That's a big, powerful swell (wave energy is 2386), and with gentle wind from the S, it's a cross-off. That said, 8 ft puts this in expert territory. This could be a serious session for the crew who can handle it.
After that, we see a few more windows of opportunity. Wednesday, September 30th, morning looks fun with a 4 ft swell from the SSE, a 12-second period, and clean cross-off wind from the NW. Wave energy is a solid 453, making it a nice, manageable option for a good crowd.
The first week is basically a write-off for decent surf. We have a gap from the 16th right through to the 21st with barely anything rideable. The pattern is small, choppy, and onshore for days.
Alright, stay stoked and check the buoys before you paddle out.

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.
