The Lowdown
Righto, let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Voltri over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly mate, it’s a bit of a flat spell for the most part. We’ve got a few small pulses of swell but nothing that’s going to get the heart racing. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t pop up until the morning of Tuesday, September 1st, when a clean little 2ft S swell from 6 seconds creeps in under light offshore winds. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 82° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
That little Tuesday window is the pick of the first week – it’s small but clean. After that, we’re back into a big dry spell with days of nothing but offshore wind and flat conditions. From Wednesday 2nd right through to Tuesday 8th September, there’s no worthwhile swell at all. Just clean, empty water.
Things finally get a bit more interesting around Wednesday 9th September. The morning brings a glassy 3ft SSW groundswell (6 seconds) and barely a breath of wind – that’s about as good as it gets for the long range. Just be warned: the afternoon sees the swell bump up to 6ft from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds and cross-onshore breeze kicking in. Combined wave energy jumps to 546 (strong stuff), but the conditions get messy. That size is getting too chunky for beginners, and with the onshore wind it’ll be a lumpy one.
After that, it’s more of the same – small, weak pulses and plenty of flat days. The only other faint hope is Monday 14th September morning when a tiny 1.0ft SE swell rolls in with offshore wind, but nothing to write home about.
So, the standout window is the morning of Wednesday 9th September (glass off, clean 3ft SSW) and to a lesser degree Tuesday 1st September morning. The rest is a waiting game. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoons with bigger swell and stronger side-on winds from the SSE might look more interesting than paddling.

Information about the Voltri Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Voltri provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Voltri can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Voltri surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Voltri) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Voltri may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Voltri is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Genova. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Genova. Genova has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
