The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. This outlook for Voltri is a bit of a tough one. We've got a long stretch ahead where the surf is pretty much non-existent, with a whole lot of nothing for days on end.
From now, right through most of the first week of September, we're looking at flat to tiny waves, often with no swell at all. There's a gap of several days where there's nothing to recommend. The wind does swing offshore at times, but there's just no energy in the water to work with.
Now, looking further out, the only real glimmer of hope comes right at the tail end of the forecast. On Wednesday morning the 9th of September, we get a pulse of new swell. This is our one standout. It's a groundswell from the SSW with a period of 8 seconds and a height of 4ft. The combined energy hits a moderate 217, which finally gives us something to surf. The real beauty here is the wind – dead glassy with a slight air from the ESE. That will make it super clean.
Voltri is a point break, which should handle that SSW swell well, especially with the better period. Just a heads up, this spot can be inconsistent and can get crowded sometimes, but with a clean, glassy morning like that, it's worth a paddle. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for the time of year – that's very unusual, so you won't need a thick wetsuit.
Outside of that one window on the 9th, the rest of the period is a write-off. There's nothing else worth chasing. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though, as things 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.
