The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at what we've got for the Varese region over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you—it's a slow start, and we're gonna be waiting a while for anything worth paddling out for.
Right now, we're looking at a long stretch of flat, grumpy days. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 50°F, but that's about the only good news. From Thursday the 23rd right through to the end of the month, it's mostly small, weak, and messy. We've got tiny waves, cross-onshore breezes, and a lot of "poor surf conditions" in the cards. The combined energy is barely a whisper, with readings like 37 (weak) and 84 (weak) for Thursday. The swell is tiny, around 1ft to 2ft, and the periods are short—nothing to get excited about. It's a real flat spell, and it's going to feel like a long one.
Then, we finally get a glimmer on Sunday, the 2nd of August. This is the standout. The morning starts a bit marginal, but the afternoon is where it's at. We're expecting a clean 5ft swell from the East, with a moderate offshore wind from the Southwest cleaning it right up. The combined energy jumps to 527 (moderate), which is the most energy we've seen all forecast. The period is a solid 9 seconds, so it'll have a bit of shape. The break is Playa Varesse, which is a fairly exposed beach break, and it's consistent. Heads up, though—crowds are possible here, so get on it early. This is the best session on offer, and it's a full week away, so keep an eye on the charts.
After that, Monday the 3rd of August still has some size, 5ft from the East, but the wind swings cross-shore, and the energy is still solid at 536 (moderate). It's a bit messier, but still a better option than the dead days before it. The rest of the week drifts back into smaller, onshore slop, with the combined energy dropping back below 300. By the 7th of August, we get a strong offshore wind, but the swell is tiny and the period is a shocking 5 seconds—it might look clean, but won't have any push.
Overall, don't rush. The first week is a write-off. Your best bet is to pencil in that Sunday the 2nd of August for a chance at some clean, fun waves. The rest is just waiting.
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.
