The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the Varese area over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – there’s a long, quiet stretch ahead. For the first few days, from Wednesday the 19th right through to Friday the 21st, we’ve got barely a ripple. Swell is tiny, under 1ft, and the conditions are just flat. You’re better off leaving the board in the car.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 22nd. The morning stays small with a 2ft SSE swell, but it’s clean and the wind is offshore from the WSW (25 km/h). The combined energy is weak at 122, so it’s not going to blow your mind. The afternoon, however, is where it gets interesting. We see a jump to 6ft from the south with a period of 10 seconds, and still offshore wind from the SW (25 km/h). The energy jumps to 662 (moderate), and the conditions are looking good. This is the pick of the whole outlook. The break is Playa Varesse (beginner-friendly, consistent, exposed to the ESE), and while the swell is coming from the south, the offshore wind will make it clean. Keep in mind the crowds can be a factor here sometimes.
Sunday the 23rd, the swell builds even more. We’re looking at 8ft from the SSE with a long period of 13-14 seconds, so this is a proper groundswell. The energy is strong, hitting 2028 in the morning and 2686 in the afternoon. However, the wind is a letdown – cross-shore in the morning and onshore in the afternoon. That size, with that period, will be a handful at a beach break, and it’ll be fat and straight. This one is for experts only, frankly.
From Monday the 24th onwards, the surf drops off rapidly. The wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell fades from 6ft down to nothing by the end of the week. We get a few days of 3ft surf (Friday 28th and Saturday 29th) with offshore winds, but the energy is weak (around 100) and the period is short. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. After that, it’s back to flatness through the end of August and into September. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
So, if you’re looking for a window, make it Saturday afternoon, the 22nd. That’s your standout. It’s the best combo of size, clean wind, and decent energy we’re going to see. After that, the forecast gets quiet again, and we’re looking at a gap of several days with no real recommendations.
Rusty.

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.
