The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the first ten days are a real struggle. We’re looking at a long stretch of weak, messy swell with no real quality to speak of. From Monday the 20th of July right through to the end of the month, it’s pretty much a write-off for proper waves. The combined swell energy is mostly low, bouncing between 50 and 165 (weak to moderate), but the wave heights are tiny – think 1 ft to 3 ft max – and the periods are short, around 7 to 8 seconds, so there’s no punch. Winds are cross or cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and bumpy. It's a tough watch.

There is a small glimmer on Wednesday the 29th of July morning. Playa Varesse, with a clean offshore wind from the west, but the swell is only 2 ft. It’s surfable but very ordinary, and honestly, not worth getting too excited about. The water temperature is sitting at 50°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze if you do paddle out.

Now, things start to shift as we head into the end of the month. Friday the 31st of July morning shows some promise. The wind goes offshore from the WSW, the swell picks up to 4 ft from the ENE, and the combined energy jumps to 206 (moderate). The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but it’s the first real sign of life. The stand-out, however, is Saturday the 1st of August morning. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. At Playa Varesse, we’re looking at a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the WSW, with a solid 5 ft swell from the ENE and a combined energy reading of 650 (strong wave energy). The period is a more respectable 9 seconds, so the waves will have some shape and push. This is the best on offer across the whole forecast – a proper window of cleaner, fun waves. The crowd factor is listed as "sometimes" crowded, so you might have some company, but for this quality, it’s a fair trade-off.

The window closes quickly after that. Sunday the 2nd of August drops back to small, cross-onshore junk, and the following week looks like a return to weak, small, and messy conditions. The swell direction through the middle of the second week is mostly from the east, but the heights barely break 3 ft and the fetch is gone.

So, bottom line: the first week and a half is a dust-off. The one true standout is the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. That’s your play. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
