Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our little stretch of coast at Voltri over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a quiet period, no two ways about it.

We’ve got a solid run of nothing much happening from now until the end of the month. The water temp is sitting at a toasty 82°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and it means you can leave the thick wetsuit at home, but unfortunately, the lack of swell means you might be leaving the board at home too.

Things finally get a bit of a pulse on Saturday, August 29th. There’s a jump in energy with a swell coming in from the SSW at 7 ft, with a moderate combined energy of 653. That’s a real solid push of water. However, the period is a short 7 seconds, which is windswell, and the morning wind is a light cross-onshore from the ESE. At that size, it’s probably too much for beginners. It’s a tease, really – just a one-day bump before it fades back down. The water temp anomaly is only noted on the first day, so consider that the August 29th south swell is pushing into that unusually warm water.

After that Saturday bump, we go back into a lull. Sunday the 30th has a tiny 2 ft glassy morning, but it’s nothing to write home about. Then from Monday the 31st right through to Thursday September 3rd, it’s basically flat. A proper gap of several days with no surf to speak of.

We get a hint of life again on Tuesday, September 1st. A clean 3 ft morning from the south with a gentle offshore NNW wind at 9 mph. The combined energy is only 59 though, so it’s weak. It’s surfable but very ordinary.

And that’s about it for the run-out of this forecast. The only real standout is that Saturday, August 29th, which offers the biggest swell, but it’s let down by a short period and onshore wind. For a point break like Voltri that likes a clean SSW groundswell, this one is more of a novelty than a classic day. For the rest of the window, you’re looking at knee-to-waist high dribble, if that.

It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. But hey, it’s a point break, it can get good in a heartbeat, so keep an eye on the charts.

Rusty.
