The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about the 16-day stretch ahead for Playa Varesse. Gotta be straight with you, it's a slow start.

We're looking at a real quiet spell through the first week. The water temp is sitting at 50°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's one small win.

The first bit of surf worth mentioning shows up on Sunday the 16th of August – we get some small 4ft swell from the East. It's clean enough with a light breeze, but the energy is only moderate at 155. It's surfable but very ordinary. The wind turns a bit better for Monday the 24th of August, with a bigger 8ft swell from the SSE, and the energy jumps to 1461. Winds are light and offshore, making for excellent conditions, but those waves are for experienced surfers only.

Honestly, the standout here is that Monday the 24th of August morning. The swell is solid, the direction from the SSE is on the money for this break, and it's clean with light offshore wind. If you're an experienced surfer, that's your window. Everything before that is small, weak, and not worth the paddle.

After that, it fades again. There's a smaller 4ft SSE swell on Wednesday the 26th, but the wind turns onshore and choppy, so it's a miss. The rest of the period is mostly tiny surf, under 3ft, with some clean morning windows but not enough power to get excited about.

So to wrap it up: it's a long, quiet stretch with one solid, expert-only peak on the 24th. If you're keen, mark that morning on your calendar. Otherwise, the lake is flat.

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.
