The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a bit of a slow start, so don’t be in a rush. We’re looking at a period that’s really setting up for some action in the back half of the forecast window.
The first real chance to get wet is Wednesday the 5th. It’s not much, just some small, clean surfable waves. The water’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a small bonus. But honestly, it’s pretty ordinary, so don’t expect any fireworks.
Thursday the 6th is a write-off. We’ve got some cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions, so the surf is going to be poor. Give it a miss.
Friday the 7th brings a little more life with a cleaner, offshore morning, but again, it's just surfable, nothing to get too excited about. It’s not worth planning your day around.
Then the weekend, the 8th and 9th, the swell just completely fades away. We’re talking knee-high slop with hardly any energy. It’s a total flat spell. You’d be better off doing something else.
We see a little bump on Monday the 10th in the afternoon, but it’s still pretty poor. However, that’s the precursor. The energy is starting to build.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. The standout is Tuesday the 11th. We’ve got a solid new swell arriving, coming from the SSE. The energy jumps right up (757), and the wind is light and cross-offshore, which should keep things pretty clean. We’re looking at head-high to maybe a bit overhead surf at Playa Varesse (Varese). This is the pick of the bunch, the one you want to make time for. The crowds can be a factor here sometimes, but for waves like this, it’s worth sharing the line-up.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th continue to offer up good conditions. The swell eases a touch but stays consistent, with light winds and glassy afternoons. The energy is still strong (583 on Wednesday). These are solid days for a point break or a reef, as the period is long enough to wrap in nicely.
Then it starts to get messy again. Friday the 14th and the weekend of the 15th and 16th, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops right off. Poor surf is back on the cards, so that’s a gap for you. Looks like the middle weekend is a no-go.
The following week starts with a stormy pulse. Monday the 17th gets big but with a short, messy period and strong winds. It’s not for the faint-hearted. Then Tuesday the 18th sees the swell peak, with a lot of energy (2522) and wave heights reaching 10ft. This is big, powerful, and only for the experts. The period is around 10 seconds, so it’ll be a heavy, dumpy sort of wave. Most of us should be on the beach watching this one.
After that, things settle down again. Wednesday the 19th looks like another decent, clean option with smaller surf and a good offshore wind. A good rebound day.
So, if you’re looking for the one, that’s Tuesday the 11th. It’s got the size, the direction, and the clean conditions. The big pulse on the 18th is more of a spectacle than a surf. The rest is just pickin’ through the scraps.
Alright, stay stoked.

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.
