The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Voltri is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch with barely a ripple for days on end.
The first real glimmer of anything comes on Thursday, September 17th, in the afternoon. A tiny 3ft swell from the SSW is set to roll in, but it’s a weak, short-period swell at just 6 seconds, and the combined energy is only moderate (115). The wind goes glassy though, which is the only saving grace. You’ll be on a longboard, scratching for little ankle-biters at this point-and-reef setup. It's not good, but it's the first move of the game.
After that, it’s a desert. The forecast goes completely dry from the 20th through the 29th of September. We’re talking days of zeros, with combined swell energies barely hitting double digits. There are a few half-hearted pulses, like on Sunday, September 28th, with a 1.0ft SE swell under offshore winds, but the wave energy is pathetic (4). There are no standouts here, just a whole lot of flat spells.
The best we can hope for is a small uptick on the very last day of the forecast period. On Thursday, October 1st, the morning shows 2ft from the SSW with decent offshore wind from the NNW, pushing the combined energy to 37. The afternoon improves slightly to 3ft from the SE with a cross-offshore breeze (49 combined energy). Even then, the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." The water temp is a crazy 79°F, which is 8°F warmer than average – very unusual for this time of year.
Honestly, for a break that is inconsistent and only exposed to SSW swells, this blank run is just the norm for the area. Keep that board waxed anyway; forecasts can change.
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.
