The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same forecast for the Varese area, but in the old-school measurements.
First thing, the water's sitting at about 50°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. You'll still want a good wetsuit, though.
The next ten days or so are a real mixed bag, and mostly a frustrating one. We've got a lot of "poor surf conditions" in the forecast, so don't expect to be scoring barrels every day.
The first genuinely worthwhile session looks like Wednesday morning, September 16th. That's a week away now. Playa Varesse is the main game in town. We've got a clean 5ft swell pushing in from the south, with a nice 10-second period. The real kicker is the offshore wind, a light westerly breeze making for some clean faces. The wave energy is solid at 531, so there's some punch there. The guide says it's a beginner spot that's consistent, which is great, but with that size, it might be a bit much for absolute beginners. Crowds are a possibility here, so be ready to share.
The following period looks a bit bleak overall. There's a small window of opportunity on Thursday, September 24th with some clean, small waves. We're looking at a 3ft to 3ft groundswell from the east-northeast, with a reasonable 10-second period. The wind is offshore from the WSW both morning and afternoon, which is a huge plus for clean conditions. The wave energy is moderate (147 and 184), so it's not going to be pumping, but it'll be surfable and clean. This is the best option for a quiet, beginner-friendly session later in the forecast.
So, to sum it up: your best bet is that Wednesday the 16th for a bit of size and clean conditions. For the real patient surfers, the end of the forecast on the 24th offers some clean, small waves. Everything else in between is a whole lot of "meh" with poor conditions and onshore winds. Don't hold your breath for any standouts.
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.

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.
