Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our little corner of the coast.

Honestly, the next two weeks are lookin' pretty flat. There's just no energy pushin' in, and it's going to be a real quiet period for the paddle. We've got a bit of a dry spell here. From now, right through until about the 4th of September, there's nothing worth paddling out for, so save the wax and take a walk. There are a few little bumps here and there, but none of it is offering any kind of rideable wave. The best we can say is that a few mornings might have some glassy conditions, but with no swell, you're just bobbin' around.

The first bit of hope shows up on the 5th of September, Saturday morning. Voltri (point break) will see a little pulse of 1.6ft swell from the SSW, with a period of just 5 seconds, so it's a weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is only (16), so it's barely a ripple. The wind is light cross-shore from the East, so it's not perfect, but it's a small window. Still, it's poor surf, so keep expectations low.

After that, we're back to another stretch of flatness and tiny, non-surfable bumps from the 6th through to the 12th. The 10th and 11th see a few small pulses, with a 7-second period from the SW, but with energy readings of just (1) and (2), you'd need a longboard and a lot of patience. The water temp on the 30th of August was a balmy 81.5°, which is 7.7° warmer than average for this time of year, so if you do get wet, you won't need a thick suit.

As we get into the second week, the 12th of September shows a tiny 0.7ft SSE swell with a glassy morning, but again, the energy is only (2). That's not a wave. The 13th is similar, with a 0.3ft SSW swell. It's all very weak. The bottom line is, for the next 16 days, there isn't a single standout session. It's a stretch of flatness that's pretty normal for the area when there's no storm activity. The setup here is more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
