The Lowdown

Right. Let's have a look at this stretch on the calendar. The outlook for the coming days is, to be honest, pretty bleak for the most part. We’ve got a long dry spell of poor surf ahead before things even start to look interesting. There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile from now up to the 6th of August, so if you’re looking to paddle out before then, you’re in for a disappointment.

The first real window of possibility opens up on the morning of Thursday the 6th of August at Playa Varesse. It’s not perfect by any stretch, but compared to the doldrums before it, it’s worth talking about. We’re looking at a 8ft swell coming from the south with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a touch on the short side, so don’t expect classic lines. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 785. The wind is clean offshore from the west at 19 mph, which is a major positive—that’ll keep the faces tidy. This is a beginner spot, so 8ft is going to be too big for the less experienced crowd. This is likely one for the better surfers who know the break.

The wave energy mentioned is moderate (785), and the conditions are clean thanks to that offshore wind. The water temperature is 50°F with a positive anomaly of 3°F, so the water is a touch warmer than average for this time of year in this lake.

The afternoon of the 6th sees the swell drop a bit to 6ft, still from the south but with a bit more period at 9 seconds. It’s still clean, but the cross-off wind from the WNW at 22 mph isn't quite as pristine. A solid option if the morning is too gnarly for you.

Then we go dead again. Nothing of note for the 7th, 8th, or 9th. The next real standout comes on the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. Playa Varesse picks up a 5ft swell from the SSE with a solid 11-second period. That’s a groundswell with good energy, and at 5ft it’s manageable for a wider range of surfers, though bigger and stronger than ideal for a pure beginner. The combined swell energy is moderate at 537. The wind is a moderate offshore from the WSW at 12 mph—clean and nice. This is the pick of the forecast window, offering good surf conditions. The crowd is a factor here; it gets surfed "sometimes," so you might have to share, but it’s worth it.

The morning of Wednesday the 12th of August is another solid shout. The swell holds at 4ft from the SSE with 10 seconds of period. The wind is a gentle offshore from the SW at 9 mph, keeping it glassy and clean. Combined energy is moderate (301). It’s a touch smaller but even cleaner. This is a solid, reliable day for a long session.

So, to be blunt, the first week-plus is mostly a write-off. The best surfing in this 16-day window is the Tuesday and Wednesday (11th and 12th of August) at Playa Varesse, with clean offshore winds and decent, workable swell.

Rusty.

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.

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.
