The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the cards for Playa Varesse.
Alright, I gotta be straight with you. The outlook for the next 16 days at Playa Varesse is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing really good on offer for the first week. The waves are just too small, or the wind is all wrong. From Monday the 13th all the way through to Sunday the 20th, it’s a write-off. The water is sitting at 50°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
The first real sniff of something decent arrives on the 22nd of July, Wednesday morning. We’ve got a 3 ft swell rolling in from the SE, with a nice long period of 12 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the wind is going light and cross-off from the SSW, which should keep things clean. The combined energy is moderate at 297, so it’s not huge, but for a spot that’s been flat, it’s a welcome change. The break is fairly exposed, but it’s a beginner-friendly spot that’s consistent, so it’ll be rideable. Just keep an eye out for crowds, as it can get busy sometimes.
The week after that, from the 23rd onward, it fades back into small, junk surf. The 26th and 27th see a little bump in energy from the ESE with a 3 ft swell and a long period again, but it’s all cross-onshore wind, making it a messy, choppy affair. Not worth paddling out for.
So, the standout is Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. It’s the only window in the whole 16 days that looks like it might actually be fun. Get on it if you can, because after that, it’s back to 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.
