The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's look at what's coming up for this stretch of coast.
We've got a week of pretty ordinary conditions ahead before things start to look a bit more promising. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 10°.
The best window is actually a little way off, around Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th. For now, the first real session worth paddling out for is on Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. Playa Varesse is showing a 5ft S swell with a moderate 11-second period. The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, so the surf should be clean. The combined energy is moderate at 929, so there's some push there. It's a consistent spot, but being a beginner-friendly break, if the swell holds size it might be a little much for total novices.
Tuesday afternoon is okay, but the wind switches to a light cross-shore, which isn't quite as good. Wednesday the 12th morning is a standout with a glassy, calm wind and a 5ft SSE swell. The period is a touch longer at 11 seconds, so the waves should have decent shape. The energy is moderate at 721. It's a solid option.
After that, from Thursday the 13th through to the 22nd, the surf quality drops right off. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions with onshore winds, low energy, and small swell. There's a brief window on Sunday the 16th morning with a glassy 3ft E swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the energy is a weak 100, so it's just ordinary.
The real standout comes in the second week. On Tuesday the 25th, we get a solid 5ft SSE swell with a long 13-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it's clean. The energy is strong at 911. This is a groundswell with a long period, so it'll have plenty of punch, but it might make the beach breaks a bit fat and lined up. Early morning on Wednesday the 26th is also worth a look with a 5ft SSE swell, 12-second period, very light wind, and strong energy at 585.
Keep an eye on that Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th - that's the best chance of a proper session in this forecast. The rest is a bit of a write-off.
Rusty.
