The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The scene here at Playa Varesse is looking pretty grim for a solid stretch. We're looking at over a week of real small, wind-battered surf that's barely worth paddling out for. It's a bit of a rough start for the region.
The water temperature is sitting at 50°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit, but it's still chilly.
The first real sniff of something decent doesn't come until Tuesday, July 21st. Early that morning, we've got a tiny 2ft easterly swell with a clean offshore wind from the southwest. The combined energy is weak at 80, so it's not going to be powerful, but for a beginner-friendly spot, it will be surfable. Expect it to be very ordinary, but at least you won't be battling onshore chop.
We then have another gap of nothing until Friday, July 24th. That afternoon, the swell picks up significantly to 8ft out of the south, with a proper long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 1884, which is very strong. This is a lot of water moving. However, the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, making it fairly choppy, and the conditions are marginal. Given the size, this is strictly for experienced surfers only, and the conditions aren't doing it any favours.
The best chance for a decent session looks like Sunday, July 26th. The morning sees a solid 5ft swell from the SSE with a very long period of 13 seconds, carrying plenty of punch (combined energy of 774). The wind is a fresh offshore from the WSW, which should clean things up nicely. That's a real standout. The size is getting toward the top end for intermediates, but for anyone with experience, it's the best on offer.
The following week looks a bit more promising for consistency. On Tuesday, July 28th, we get a nice little window. The morning has a 3ft south swell with a 12-second period, gentle offshore wind, and conditions are looking good. That afternoon, the swell bumps up to 4ft with the same long period, and the wind holds clean. The combined energy is moderate at 346. That's a solid, fun day for the intermediate crew.
Other than that, the rest of the outlook is filled with small, weak swells and less-than-ideal wind, so don't hold your breath for the second week. Tuesday the 28th is your best bet, with Sunday the 26th being the standout for the brave.
