The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming up for the Varese stretch. It’s a bit of a slow burner this time, but there’s a proper pulse of energy lurking in the second week that’s got my attention.

Right now, we are in a bit of a flat spell. The first week is pretty quiet, with small, weak swells and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. You’ll see a brief window on Sunday the 16th. The morning will see clean lines from a light offshore WSW breeze, pushing into a small 4ft swell from the east with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (152). It’s surfable, but it’s only a 4ft wave and nothing to write home about. After that, we slide back into a long stretch of tiny surf and poor conditions from Monday the 17th right through to Friday the 21st of August. The energy drops right off to weak levels (as low as 12 in the combined energy reading), so you aren't missing much.

Then the game changes. We get a proper Southern Ocean pulse arriving on Saturday the 22nd of August. The swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the south with a long period of 13 seconds, giving very strong wave energy (2986). The catch? The wind is a strong offshore from the west, but at 22 to 25 mph it’s going to be howling. That makes it hard work to paddle into, and with that much swell size (over 8ft), this is strictly for the experienced crew. This is more of a build-up day.

The standout window—and the one I’d circle on the calendar—is Sunday morning, 23 August at Playa Varesse. The swell holds at a pumping 10ft from the south, still with a cracking 11-second period, and the combined energy is massive (3046). The wind switches to a clean offshore WSW breeze at 12 mph. This is the sweet spot: big, powerful groundswell combined with moderate offshore winds. For the experts in the water, this will be a morning of excellent conditions. Just be aware, a south swell at this angle with long period can be a bit straight for beach breaks; it’s best suited where there’s a bit of a bank. That energy is right up there.

Monday the 24th still offers a very good 7ft swell from the SSE (12-second period, energy at 1170) with a gentle offshore wind in the morning, making it a bit more accessible for strong intermediates. After that, the energy gradually fades out through the rest of the week into more typical small, choppy conditions for the area.

In short, hold tight through a quiet first week and early second week. Sunday the 23rd is the big one for the crew who can handle it.

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.
