Playa Varesse Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up for our local patch.

First up, there's a bit of a slow start but we get a nice pulse right away. Water temps are sitting at 51°F, which is about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so a little spring suit is plenty and you won't be freezing your toes off.

Thursday, July 2nd is the clear standout. That morning session at Playa Varesse is the one to aim for. We've got a solid 5ft south swell, a 12-second period giving it some proper push, and combined wave energy is moderate (853). The wind is a gentle offshore from the SW, grooming everything into shape. The water will be clean, and the report expects very good surf conditions. It's a beginner-friendly break and fairly consistent, though you might have some company as crowds are possible. This is the pick of the bunch, no question.

Friday the 3rd drops off a bit with a 4ft south swell and clean but cross-off winds. It's surfable but nothing to write home about. Saturday the 4th morning is small, only 2ft, but glassy – you could get a fun little one on the log if you're keen.

Then we hit a real lull. From Saturday afternoon right through to the back half of the following week, it's pretty poor. Swells are weak, periods are short, and the winds are mostly messy or cross-shore. There’s a little spike of energy mid-week around Tuesday, July 7th with a short-period 5ft SSE swell and strong offshore winds, but it’s raw and the period is only 8 seconds – more of a bumpy, choppy wave than anything lined up. Not recommended.

We get another small window on Wednesday, July 15th with a clean 3ft wave and offshore wind – again, just ordinary conditions. The best of the second week is Thursday, July 16th. The morning and afternoon both look promising with a 4ft to 4ft ESE swell, a nice 12-second period, moderate energy (373-405), and offshore winds. It's a moderate offshore, so the face will be clean and peeling. Expect good surf conditions. It’s still a beginner break, so it’ll be fun and not too crazy for the average surfer.

After that, Friday the 17th gets blown out by strong winds even though there’s a decent swell running. It’ll be clean but very hard to paddle into with that howling wind.

So, to wrap it up: lock in Thursday morning, July 2nd as your best bet. Thursday, July 16th is a decent second option for a later session. The rest of the window is mostly flat or junk, so pick your moments.

Stay stoked,
Rusty.
