The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch it to feet and miles.
First off, don’t get too excited just yet. The next few days are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. Saturday the 12th has some size, with a 7ft swell from the SSE, but it’s a messy cross-shore wind and the wave energy is moderate at best (623). That’s not what we’re after. The real window opens up Sunday the 13th.
Sunday morning at Playa Varesse is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE, and the wind is swinging offshore from the SW – light breeze, glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (345), but that offshore wind will make it smooth and fun for a beginner. Water temp is about average for this time of year, no weird anomalies, so just your standard wetsuit. Crowds are possible here, so expect a few other heads in the water. This is your standout for the whole outlook.
After Sunday, things drop off hard. Monday the 14th through to Tuesday the 22nd is basically a write-off – tiny waves, onshore or cross winds, and weak energy readings (mostly under 200). There’s a long gap of nearly ten days with nothing worth paddling out for.
But hang on. Wednesday the 23rd starts to look promising again. Morning has a clean 5ft swell from the S, with a solid offshore breeze from the WSW. The wave energy jumps up to moderate (395), and the wind is moderate offshore, so the waves should be clean and lined up. This is a good call for intermediate surfers – not too big, not too small. Afternoon holds similar size and clean conditions. If you can wait, that’s your second real chance.
Thursday the 24th has a bit more size at 5ft from the SSE, with a longer period of 12 seconds, giving it more push. But the wind is stronger, cross-off, so it might get a little bumpy. Still worth a look if you’re keen.
After that, it fades again into small, weak surf for the rest of the outlook.
So bottom line: Sunday the 13th morning is your best bet for clean, fun waves. Wednesday the 23rd is the backup if you can wait a week and a half. The rest is a waiting game.

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.
