Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the radar for this stretch of coast.
Honestly, the first week or so is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long, lean patch of small, weak swell and hardly any quality. It’s not until Thursday the 16th that things finally wake up, and even then it’s borderline for a couple of days. The real standout looks like it’s shaping up for Friday the 17th.
Let’s break it down.
Starting with the weekend of the 4th and 5th, we’ve got tiny surf at Playa Varesse, around 2ft to 3ft from the south and east. The combined energy is weak (135-186), and while Saturday morning is glassy, the waves are just too ordinary. Sunday morning sees a slight improvement with a cleaner cross-off breeze, but it’s still small and uninspiring.
Monday the 6th through to Wednesday the 15th is a real struggle. Swell stays below 3ft most days, with energy readings dropping into the double digits (as low as 10). Winds are often strong, with gusts up to 28 mph on Wednesday the 15th, making it hard work. The water temp is about average for this time of year. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for here—this stretch is more about waiting it out.
Then, on Thursday the 16th, we get a jolt. A solid pulse of swell from the south arrives, lifting to 10ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon. Combined energy jumps to 3414 – that’s strong stuff. But the conditions are described as marginal, with fresh breezes and a cross-off wind. For experienced surfers only, this is a big, powerful groundswell with a period of 13-14 seconds. The crowd factor likely won’t be an issue given the size and the conditions.
Friday the 17th is the best bet. The swell drops to a more manageable 6ft in the morning, still from the south, with a clean offshore wind from the southwest. Energy is still solid at 773. This is a proper window – clean, lined-up waves with enough push for a good session. The afternoon drops to 4ft but stays clean, though the wind goes a bit cross-off. This is your session to aim for.
After that, things fade again into the following weekend, with smaller swell and onshore winds picking up by Sunday. So the pick of the entire run is Friday the 17th at Playa Varesse.
Rusty.
