Varazze surf guide

Varazze is a small town located about a half-hour drive west of Genova, Italy. It has become a popular spot for surfers, attracting not just locals but also visitors from nearby France. The surf scene here can get pretty lively, especially when the conditions are right.

The waves at Varazze are generally best with swells coming from the Southeast (SE) and Southwest (SW), and they can handle swell sizes around 1 meter (3 feet). The main peaks usually break over an uneven reef, which creates both left and right-hand waves. The right-hander tends to be longer and more fun to ride all the way to the inside, while the left provides a shorter yet intense experience. The surf is workable during low, mid, and high tides, but for those seeking the best barrels, you'll want to hit it on a windless or offshore day. On small days, you can easily jump in from the pier or paddle around to the peak. Just keep in mind that this spot can be quite crowded and is often heavily localized by local surfers.

If you're heading to Varazze, it's good to note that a wetsuit is advised since the waves break over a shallow and sharp reef. The conditions also allow for some fun sessions even with onshore winds, making it a versatile place to catch some surf. Remember, this spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so make sure youโ€™re comfortable on the board before paddling out.
