The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks around here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a long, slow start. We’re looking at a real dry spell for the first week and a half or so. The only real chance of getting wet is way out toward the second week.

The first genuine surf recommendation pops up on the morning of Monday, 12th August. Up until then, it’s flat and blown out. Real quiet. You’re looking at nearly ten days of nada before things finally wake up.

Alright, the standout. Mark your calendars for the morning of Wednesday, 12th August at Playa Varesse. The water temperature is sitting at 51°F, which is about 4°F warmer than what’s normal for this time of year – that’s notably toasty for us, a real unexpected treat. Now, for the waves: we’ve got a solid 10ft swell rolling in from the South with a long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping at a serious 4841. That’s strong, powerful stuff. This is only for experienced surfers – at 10ft, it's way too big for beginners. The kicker is the wind: it’s glassy. Dead calm. That’s a massive positive and will make for the cleanest, most lined-up waves you’ll see in this entire forecast window. This is your best shot. Don’t miss it.

Now, the afternoon of the same day (Wednesday 12th August) turns messy. The wind swings onshore and the swell drops a bit to 8ft with a 12-second period. Conditions turn marginal and choppy, so it’s really that glassy morning window that’s the golden ticket.

Thursday 13th August through to Sunday the 16th is a write-off. The swell is still there at times, with 5ft to 7ft on Thursday and Friday, but the wind is a trashy cross-onshore. It’s lumpy, choppy, and just not worth the paddle. The energy is there (over 1252 on Thursday afternoon), but the quality is shot. It’ll look more like a kite-surfing kind of setup than a day for a log or a shortboard.

By the very end, on Sunday afternoon the 16th, there’s a glimmer with a 5ft swell from the NE and a cross-offshore breeze blowing 9 mph. The combined energy is 297, which is moderate, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s not the size or quality of that Wednesday morning, but it’s a decent end to a tough run. Worth checking if you’re desperate.

To sum it up: wait for that glassy Wednesday morning, 12th August. That’s the one. Everything else is a mix of flat spells and messy wind. Stay patient.

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.
