The Lowdown
Howdy folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Lake Maggiore – or more precisely, Playa Varesse – has cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a slow cooker. The first real chance for a wave shows up on Monday, August 10th, but it's nothing special. The swell is there at 4ft from the SE, but the wind is cross-off, making it a bit ragged. The energy is moderate (428), but the conditions are marginal. That afternoon, the swell jumps to a solid 8ft from the SSE, with a strong energy reading of 2526. That's a powerful wave, but with a 12 mph cross-off wind, it'll be lumpy. This is a beach setup, and with that much juice, it's looking more like a kite session.
Tuesday, August 11th morning is where we get our best window. The swell drops to a clean 5ft from the S with a period of 11 seconds – proper groundswell. The wind is WSW and offshore, so the face will be smooth. The energy is a solid moderate 929, and conditions are flagged as "very good." For a beginner spot, 5ft is still okay, and with that offshore wind, it's your best call. The crowd is listed as "sometimes," so expect a few others, but it'll be worth it.
Wednesday, August 12th morning is a glassy little treasure. The swell drops to 3ft from the SSE, but the wind is dead calm – glassy. The period is a very long 15 seconds, which is beautiful, but on a beach break, it might wall up a bit straight. Energy is moderate (765). It'll be clean and easy paddling, just not a barrel machine. Great for a log.
After that, the surf goes flat. From Thursday, August 13th all the way to Sunday, August 24th, it's poor. Onshore winds and tiny, weak swells. Energy readings drop into double digits, showing how weak it is. There's a little bump on Monday, August 25th with a 4ft SSE swell, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, making it choppy. Skip it.
So, bottom line: your best bet is Tuesday morning, August 11th at Playa Varesse. Grab that 5ft south swell with the offshore wind. If you miss it, the glassy Wednesday morning might give you some clean, small waves. After that, it’s a long, dry spell for about a week and a half.
Catch you on the beach,
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.
