The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Right, I’ve had a good hard look at what’s on offer for Voltri over the next sixteen days, and to be honest, it’s a real flat spell. There’s nothing that even gets close to a decent wave. The whole run from now right through to Wednesday the 16th is a write-off for paddle surfing. If you’re hanging out for a surf, you’re looking at a solid gap of over two weeks with no recommendations at all.
The only break in play is Voltri, a point break that’s rated for beginners but is inconsistent and rarely has any size. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°, nearly 9° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s properly weird, like bath water.
We start Tuesday the 1st with a tiny 2ft S swell, a period of only 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at just (30). Wind is offshore from the N at 6 mph in the morning, so the surface will be clean, but there’s no real push. Tuesday afternoon goes cross-on with a measly 1ft SSE swell, and it just gets smaller and more pathetic as the days roll by.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are flat, with some glassy moments on Thursday afternoon but absolutely no swell – 0.3ft from the SW with a period of 5 seconds and energy at (1). Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are dead, completely flat, with light cross-onshore breezes. Sunday the 6th sees a brief flicker of 0.7ft from the S, period just 4 seconds, energy at (1), no use at all.
The pattern is the same every day: small onshore puffs and no meaningful swell. Even when the wind turns glassy or offshore, like on the morning of Thursday the 10th with a 2ft SW swell and a period of 8 seconds – the best energy of the whole period at (37) – it’s still rated as poor surf. That’s barely a ripple.
Through the second week, from the 11th to the 16th, there’s nothing to get excited about. Tiny swell, weak energy, and mostly cross-onshore or glassy conditions with no power. A few moments of offshore wind on the 14th and 15th mornings, but with swell barely registering at 0.3ft, you’d have more luck splashing in a puddle.
Overall, this is a dead run for Voltri. No standout days, no real options. If you’re desperate for a surf, you’re better off waiting for the next system. The setup here is so small and weak it might honestly look more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf, but even then, there’s nothing doing. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, park your board.

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.
