The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's cooking for the Varese region. The forecast starts with a little action, but there's a long, quiet stretch in the middle.
We can get wet starting Thursday morning, August 27th. Playa Varesse is the spot – a beginner-friendly break. The water is about 50°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Thursday morning is clean with a light WNW cross-offshore breeze. The swell is coming from the SE at 4 ft with a 12-second period – nice, long-period groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (359). This is the best of the near-term, with clean conditions and a long-period swell that'll wrap in nicely.
Thursday afternoon sees the swell drop a touch to 3 ft, but still with that clean cross-off breeze. Friday morning, August 28th, has smaller 2 ft waves from the east, and the period drops to 9 seconds. It's surfable but ordinary, with a light breeze. By Friday afternoon and into Saturday, the swell really fades, and the wind swings onshore, making for poor conditions.
From Sunday, August 30th, right through until Tuesday, September 8th, we're in a proper slump. The swell is tiny, often under 2 ft, with poor winds and cross-chop. Even a 4 ft spike on September 5th with a 5-second period is a dud – just wind chop. This is a long, dry spell for the area.
Now for the standout in the longer range. Look at Thursday, September 10th. The morning session at Playa Varesse is the one to circle. The combined swell energy is a massive 901 – strong wave energy. You've got a 6 ft swell from the SSE with an 11-second period – a proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-off from the WNW, keeping the surface glassy. This is the best on offer across the whole forecast, but being a couple of weeks out, it's promising but not locked in yet. The swell is over 5 ft, so it might be pushing it for beginners, but for anyone with experience, this is the day to be out.
The afternoon of the 10th sees the swell drop to 6 ft, but the wind swings onshore, making for more marginal conditions. After that, it fades out again into smaller, clean but ordinary surf on Friday the 11th.
So, to sum it up: grab Thursday morning, August 27th for a clean, fun session. But the real prize is Thursday morning, September 10th. Everything else is either flat, blown out, or just ordinary.
Rusty.
