About Varese

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces E (84°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (264°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 56). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 10°C in August, its coldest month (4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves), and 21°C in February, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Mar del Plata, 2.7 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 10 surf spots and 1 wind sports spot.

Water about 16°C: 3/2 wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
