The Lowdown
Alright, mate, I’ll level with you—the next couple of weeks are pretty tame around here. We’ve got a slow start with some small waves, but nothing that’ll have you paddling out in a hurry. Let’s run through it.
Thursday, 27 August, at Playa Varesse. Morning’s got some clouds and a cross-offshore wind from the west at 9 mph, with waves around 4ft from the southeast at 12 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (359), and it’s clean. That’s the highlight of the first few days. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no drama. Afternoon stays clean with offshore wind and 3ft swell, but it’s not special.
Friday, 28 August, starts glassy with 2ft waves from the east, but the period is short at 9 seconds and the energy is weak (133). By afternoon, a cross-onshore wind messes it up. Saturday, 29 August, has tiny 2ft waves and low energy, though the morning is clean with a cross-off breeze. Sunday through to the end of the first week is mostly poor—small, weak, and often choppy. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations.
Into the second week, things don’t pick up. Monday, 31 August, and Tuesday, 1 September, have offshore winds and clean conditions, but the waves are only 2ft and the energy is almost nothing (39-41). The wind gets strong on Tuesday, with 22 mph offshore gusts, but that’s no good for the tiny swell. Wednesday, 2 September, afternoon offers a glassy 3ft from the south, but with a short period of 7 seconds, it’s barely surfable.
Thursday, 3 September, is a write-off with strong cross-winds and lumpy chop. Friday, 4 September, morning brings a clean 3ft swell from the south, but at 6 seconds period, it’s weak and messy. The energy is moderate (187), but it’s not a day to get excited about. Saturday, 5 September, has the biggest swell of the period at 4ft from the SSE, but it’s accompanied by onshore winds and poor conditions, with energy at 442 (moderate). That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
The only real standout is Friday, 11 September, morning. At Playa Varesse, we’ve got 5ft swell from the southeast at 10 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze from the northwest at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (386), and the conditions are looking good. It’s still a way out, so don’t bank on it, but that’s your best shot for anything decent.

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.
