Varazze
is one of the best know breaks in Mediterranean. It is
situated in the middle of a little and characteristic
town of the Ligure coast, have two peaks very different,
one at the right part of the breakwater, the other at
the left part. |
The
powerful and steep right wave braks with more frequency
but makes a perfect shape of the tube. The
wave’s average size is between 1.5 meters to 2.5m (5-8
feet) and works normally with south-west wind with
weekly frequency.
The best period come from
September to May, when the water has 15-25 degrees, (60’-75’F)
meanwhile the air temperature is between 5 to 20 degrees
centigrade, (40’-70’F). |

VARAZZE -
CLASSIC: is
situated on the right of the pier |
The
seabottom is rock-like and dangerous for the presence of
some partly emerged rocks above all near the breakwater,
so those who don’t want to risk much can surf the left
wave which breaks on a sandy bottom, it is more long but
less powerful and tubeless, perfect for beginner surfer
and for longboarder. |
