We consider the class DW of holomorphic functions f(z) = Σ an zn in the unit disc for which Σ W(n) |a_n|^2 &< ∞ where the weight function W satisfies standard regularity conditions. We show that if Σ 1/(nW(n)) < ∞ and f ∈ DW, then the radial variation Lf(θ) = ∫01 |f'(r ei θ)| dr is finite outside an exceptional set of capacity zero, where the kernel associated with the capacity depends on W. It is known that if Σ 1/(nW(n)) =∞, then there exist functions in DW with Lf(θ) = ∞ for every θ. We also show that it is a consequence of known results that if f ∈ DW and Σ 1/W(n) = ∞, then f has finite radial, and non-tangential, limits outside certain exceptional sets.

Keywords: Weighted Dirichlet spaces, radial variation, radial limits, exceptional sets, zero capacity.
