The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what we've got on the menu for the next couple of weeks. It's a slow start, then we see a bit of a pulse, but we have to wade through some flat days first.

Alright, so the outlook kicks off with a pretty quiet run. The first recommendation we see isn't until late August, and even then it's nothing to write home about. For the first week, we are looking at small, weak, average conditions. We start on Friday, the 28th of August, at Playa Varesse. Early morning will see a clean 2ft east swell with a period of 9 seconds. It's cross-offshore from the WNW, so it'll be surfable, but it's pretty weak with a combined swell energy of (133). The water is sitting at 50°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Don't expect much power here, but it's a paddle.

The rest of that weekend and into the start of September is a real dead zone. We drop down to 1ft or even less with barely any energy (under 30 in some cases). The conditions are poor or marginal at best, with the wind shifting around but mostly cross or onshore. You'd be better off doing something else for a few days.

We get a small spike mid-week on Wednesday the 2nd of September with a 2ft east-northeast swell but the wind is a bit strong, so again, nothing to get excited about. The scores for these are pretty low.

Now, here's where it gets interesting for the more experienced crew. We get a proper pulse of energy arriving on Sunday the 6th of September. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSE, with a very long period of 13 seconds. The combined swell energy jumps to (1320), which is strong. This is a serious groundswell. But, it comes with a catch. The wind is light onshore from the east in the morning, which will mess up the face. The afternoon looks better with a clean, cross-off SSW breeze at 12 mph. That 6ft swell at 12 seconds (1069 energy) will be powerful. This size (over 5ft) is getting too big for beginners. It'll be more of an advanced session. The long period will make it wall up nicely at a point or reef, but at a beach break it might close out a bit.

This swell holds into Monday the 7th with a peak of 6ft and 13-second period from the SSE, with a strong 22 mph cross-offshore wind. That's blowing hard, and the energy is massive (1450). This is a raw, powerful ocean. It's not perfect because the wind is strong, but if you're a solid surfer, it's the biggest clean wave window we see.

After that, it tapers off slowly through the second week. By Tuesday the 8th, the swell drops under 5ft, and the winds stay cross-off. It’s clean but the energy fades. There's a standout window for clarity on Saturday the 12th of September. We get a solid 3ft swell from the SE, 11-second period, with a moderate offshore wind from the WSW. The conditions are described as "expect good surf conditions". It's not the biggest of the run, but the combination of clean, offshore wind and a decent swell period (291 energy) makes it the best quality day for an average surfer. The crowd is listed as "sometimes" at Playa Varesse, so you might have company.

So, the best on offer? For the big, powerful stuff and if you can handle it, the 6th and 7th of September are the standout for size. For the best quality, cleanest surf with decent power, Saturday the 12th of September is the pick for a good all-round session.

Stay safe out there.

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.
