The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating start. We’re looking at a stretch of days with very little to get excited about right through the end of July. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th, with a tiny 2ft S swell showing its face. It’s clean, with a gentle offshore wind, but it’s weak – the combined energy is only 130, so you’re not going to be doing much more than bobbing around on a foamy. The break is Playa Varesse, a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly exposed but can get crowded sometimes. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
That Saturday is a one-off though. From Sunday the 26th right through to Wednesday the 30th, the surf is small and pretty ordinary. The wind stays mostly clean or cross-off, but the swell is tiny, and the energy is low. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
Things finally start to look a bit more interesting on Thursday the 30th of July. The swell jumps up to 6ft from the S, but it’s a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a nasty cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. The energy is moderate at 372, but the conditions are poor. This one is really only for the hardcore, and even then, it’s not great.
The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Friday the 31st of July. The morning session is the pick of the fortnight. We’ve got a 4ft S swell with a solid 11-second period, giving it real push. The combined energy is 395, so there’s moderate power. More importantly, the wind is light and cross-offshore, meaning the surface will be clean and glassy. This is a proper surfable wave for a beginner spot, but it’s still within a comfortable range. The afternoon has a bigger 5ft ENE swell, but the wind picks up, so get on it early.
After that, the first few days of August look like a mixed bag with a lot of bumpy onshore wind and some bigger, messier swells. The 4th of August has a clean, moderate offshore wind and a 4ft S swell, but it’s only a marginal call.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a washout. Friday the 31st of July is your best bet for a clean, fun wave at Playa Varesse, especially if you get there in the morning.
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.
