The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, putting it in feet and degrees.
Right, so the next two weeks are pretty slim pickings for this spot, with a big dry spell dead in the middle. The best window is early on and then again way later. The water is sitting around 50°, which is a touch warmer than average for the year.
First break on the list, Playa Varesse – Friday the 7th morning shows some small energy, about 5ft from the south with a real short 7-second interval. Wind is offshore and clean, which is nice, but the energy is weak (210) and the quality is average. That afternoon, it fades hard. The real standout kicks off Monday the 10th afternoon. The swell jumps to about 7ft from the SSE with an 11-second interval. That’s solid groundswell, strong energy (1293), and a gentle breeze keeping it clean – this is the best of the run. Tuesday the 11th morning is also a beauty: 6ft from the SSE, 11 seconds, moderate energy (858), glassy conditions with a light offshore wind. The break is consistent and exposed to the S/SE swell, right in the sweet spot.
From Wednesday the 12th onwards, it gets quiet. A long stretch of tiny, weak, or onshore slop, and nothing worth paddling out for until Sunday the 21st. Even then, it’s only the afternoon of the 21st that shows a little bump – 4ft from the south, 11-second period, clean cross-off wind. Energy is moderate (642), but it’s still not a classic. The next decent look is Saturday the 22nd of August. Both sessions show 3ft, clean conditions with light winds, and longer periods of 12 and 14 seconds – that helps the shape. Energy is moderate (358 and 350). Not big, but clean and organized.
So, your best bet is Monday afternoon the 10th and Tuesday morning the 11th. That’s where the size, the clean offshores, and the solid groundswell all connect. The rest of the two weeks is mostly sitting on the beach watching the tide.
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.
