The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the surf in the Varese area. I’m Rusty, and I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you: the outlook for Playa Varesse is pretty bleak for most of this period.
For the first week and a half, it’s a tough scene. We start off with a small bump on the 15th of September, with a 6ft southerly swell, but it’s short-period stuff at 7 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-off, just making it messy. The water’s running a touch warmer than normal at 50°F, but that’s about the only highlight. The swell energy is only moderate at best (317), and honestly, it’s looking poor for a paddle. The swell drops off fast after that, with tiny waves through the 18th to the 22nd, barely enough to get wet. You’re looking at a real dry spell there.
Now, there is a little flicker of hope. On Wednesday the 23rd of September, we get a stronger pulse of SSE groundswell. It’s a solid 4ft with a decent 11-second period, and the wave energy jumps up to a moderate 412. The wind is a fresh cross-off from the NW in the morning, which should keep things clean. The crowd factor is listed as *sometimes* for Playa Varesse, so you might have some company, but it won’t be a zoo. This is probably the best shot you’ll get, but it’s still not a standout.
After that, the swell fades again, and we get another run of tiny, choppy days. Then, on Sunday the 27th of September, the models are showing a big pulse of southerly swell hitting over 8ft with a very long 12-second period. The combined energy is a whopping 1553 – that’s strong, no doubt. But here’s the kicker: the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the east, and it’s lumpy with a chance of rain. That’s a lot of power and size for a beach setup like this, and with that wind, it’s going to be a washing machine. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly. That continues into Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th, with onshore winds and messy conditions on a 6ft swell.
So, to sum it up: for a solid two weeks, there’s nothing that screams “go surf.” The best bet is that Wednesday the 23rd morning with the clean 4ft swell. The rest is either flat, blown out, or too big and lumpy for a pleasant session. It’s one of those blank runs that happens here.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
