The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about Voltri. This is a point break, beginner-friendly but inconsistent, and it can get crowded sometimes. The water at the start of the forecast period is sitting at 83°, a whopping 8° above normal – that's very unusual, like swimming in a warm bath.
Right now, through the end of July, there's a long dry spell. We're looking at about nine days with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance comes on the 28th of July. That morning we've got a 5 ft SE swell, short period around 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 249. Wind is light easterly cross, so not clean but not blown out completely. The afternoon drops to 4 ft, still SE, period 7s, energy 288, but wind shifts to a light SE cross-on, which puts a bit of texture on the surface. It's marginal at best, and the swell direction is not ideal for Voltri – it prefers SSW.
After that, the 29th and 30th of July offer something cleaner but much smaller. On the 29th morning we get 2 ft SSE, period 8s, with a moderate NNW cross-off breeze – that's clean and surfable, but the energy is only 61. The 30th morning is similar: 2 ft SSE, period 8s, light NNW offshore, energy 40. Glassy conditions in the afternoon on the 30th. These are tiny waves but they'll be nicely shaped for a point break, and the offshore wind makes them inviting for a beginner. Honestly, the best call is the 29th morning – the cleanest conditions of the whole run, even if the swell is small. After that, it fades back to nothing.
There's nothing else on the horizon worth jumping for. The only real standout is that window around the 29th and 30th, but keep your expectations low – it's a tiny, inconsistent point break. If you're desperate, go for it. Otherwise, wait for the next system.
Rusty out.

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.
