The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
To be straight with you, the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one for paddle surfers. We’re looking at a long stretch of minimal to no surf, with a few tiny windows of small, weak swell. The first actual surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday, 17th August, so we’ve got a solid 10-day gap from now until then with nothing worth getting wet for. After that, conditions remain poor to marginal for the rest of the period.
Voltri (Ligurian Sea) is the only break on the radar, and it’s a point break that’s inconsistent and geared for beginners. The water temperature is a very unusual 84°F, which is 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real standout, the sea is bathwater warm.
The first sign of life comes on Monday morning, 17th August. The swell is tiny at 2ft from the S, with a period of 6 seconds, and combined energy is a weak 36. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean, but there’s barely any push. It’s a slight improvement on the flat days before it, but it’s not really a standout.
Tuesday morning, 18th August, sees a similar story: 1ft from the SW, period of 7 seconds, with a gentle offshore breeze from the NNW. The energy is still weak at 30. It’s rideable for a beginner on a foamie, but nothing to get excited about.
The period also shows a few glassy afternoons with tiny 0.3ft to 1ft waves, but the onshore or cross-onshore winds creep in during the afternoons, killing the quality. The best of the whole window is probably the Monday morning, 17th August session – the only time the swell nudges above 2ft and the wind is glassy. Even then, it’s a real struggle.
Overall, this is a blank run for the area. It’s one of those stretches where the Mediterranean just goes flat. The few tiny pulses from the S and SW are too small and weak to make any real waves. For kite surfers, the light cross-onshore afternoons might offer a bit of interest, but for a paddle surfer, you’re better off waiting for the next real swell.
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.
