The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for the Voltri region is a real struggle. There’s no standout, no proper swell to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, flat run with only tiny dribbles of energy, and not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so that’s not the issue—it’s just a total lack of wave power.
Let’s break it down. Starting Monday the 27th of July, we’ve got a tiny 1ft SW swell, period at 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 38, so it’s barely a ripple. Glassy conditions in the morning, but the surf is poor. By the afternoon, it’s even worse with a cross-on wind. Tuesday the 28th is flat to near-flat, and Wednesday the 29th offers a pathetic 0.7ft SSE swell with a 7-second period, energy of just 6—clean offshore wind in the morning, but there’s nothing to ride. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are completely flat, with zero swell height. Saturday the 1st of August sees a tiny 0.7ft SSW swell, energy of 2, and Sunday the 2nd is a 0.3ft SW swell with a 4-second period, energy of 1. Monday the 3rd of August is flat again. Tuesday the 4th gives us a 1ft SW swell, 5-second period, energy of 6—glassy morning, but it’s junk. Wednesday the 5th through Saturday the 8th is mostly flat, with a slight bump on the 8th afternoon: 1.0ft S swell, 5-second period, energy of 8, glassy, but still poor. Sunday the 9th of August has a 1ft SSW swell, 5-second period, energy of 8—clean morning offshore, but it’s marginal at best. Monday the 10th offers the “biggest” of the run: 2ft SSW swell, 6-second period, energy of 26—clean offshore wind in the morning, but that’s still tiny. Tuesday the 11th fades back to 1.0ft.
The only break on offer is Voltri, a point break that’s beginner-friendly and inconsistent. It’s exposed to swell, but the optimum direction is SSW, and we’re getting occasional SW and S pulses that don’t match well. On the rare occasions there’s a sliver of swell, the offshore or glassy mornings would be clean, but the waves are too small and weak to bother. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, but honestly, there won’t be anyone out for this.
If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing to learn on. If you’re experienced, don’t even think about it. The beach setup with such weak, short-period swell and onshore winds on some afternoons would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The whole 16 days is a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal when the swell windows are closed. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.

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.
