The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for the Varese region over the next couple of weeks.
The outlook is a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a genuine standout session to get excited about. The water is sitting at 51°F today, which is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus if you're paddling out.
The first real surfable window opens up on Sunday afternoon, September 6th. Playa Varesse will be seeing a 6ft swell pushing in from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph, which is going to keep the surface clean. The combined energy is a moderate 474, and it’s described as "expect good surf conditions". This is a solid, clean option for a beginner spot, though it can get crowded sometimes. That’s your window for a fun, easy paddle.
Then things go quiet. The whole next week, from Monday the 7th right through to the Friday the 11th, is a write-off for decent surfing. The waves are small, the winds are messy, or the conditions are just ordinary. A gap of five days with nothing to recommend.
Friday afternoon, September 11th, kicks up a bit of a warning: a 7ft SSE swell with a short, choppy 7-second period, and a strong 25 mph cross wind. That’s a messy, blown-out 7ft, and the combined energy jumps to 428. Not a good look for a paddle. With that wind and chop, a beachbreak setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Saturday, September 12th is even uglier for surfers. A 10ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, but with a strong 22 mph cross wind. The combined energy is a massive 1223, but the wind is fresh and lumpy, creating a horrendous cross-chop. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, the conditions are a battle.
There’s a brief, clean window on Sunday morning, September 13th. A smaller 3ft SSE swell, a 9-second period, and a light offshore NW wind at 3 mph. The combined energy is 307, and it’s called "good surf conditions". It’s a clean, small day, but it’s a short-lived lull before the wind turns onshore again.
After that, it’s back to more small, weak, and generally poor conditions until we hit the real standout.
Wednesday, September 16th is the one. This is the best of the whole outlook. We’ve got a solid 7ft S swell arriving with a 11-second period, and the wind is blowing clean offshore from the W at 12 mph. The combined energy is a strong 1118. The morning session is described as "expect very good surf conditions", and the afternoon holds with a 7ft S swell, 10-second period, a light offshore WSW at 6 mph, and an energy of 853. This is a proper groundswell pulse, and the offshore wind is going to groom it into clean, lined-up waves. For a beginner spot like Playa Varesse, 7ft is going to be a step up, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is a cracker of a day. The overall forecast quality for this session is the highest we see.
Thursday, September 17th will still be good, with a 6ft S swell (11-second period) and a cross-off NW wind in the morning, keeping things clean. The energy is 736. The afternoon gets a bit more cross-shore, but the morning is very much worth paddling out.
Beyond that, the surf fades back into small, weak, and ordinary conditions through the end of the period. Tuesday the 16th and Wednesday the 17th are the clear standouts here. Don't sleep on that Wednesday morning.
Rusty.

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.
