The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days for Voltri are pretty bleak for surf. We’re looking at a long dry spell with hardly any proper swell to speak of. This little point break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast window is a classic example of a quiet period. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s over 7° above normal, so it’s very unusual.
We’re stuck in a flat spell right from Saturday the 15th of August through to the morning of Thursday the 20th. No surf at all, just glassy mornings and light onshore afternoons. You’d be better off swimming.
The first tiny pulse shows up on Monday the 17th of August, but honestly, it’s nothing to get excited about – a 2ft SSW swell with a short 6-second period, and only 20 units of combined energy. Wind is cross-off in the morning but still not enough to make it worthwhile. The whole week from the 17th to the 20th is just piddly little waves, knee-high at best, and mostly poor conditions.
Things get slightly more interesting on Friday the 21st of August. The morning session shows a 4ft SSW swell with a 6-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 132, which is moderate. Wind is light and cross-off, making it clean. It’s surfable but ordinary – the swell direction is SSW, straight out of the optimum direction for this exposed point, but the period is short and the size is small. It’s the best on offer across the whole outlook, but that’s not saying much. Expect crowds here as it’s sometimes busy, but this is the one to pencil in if you’re desperate.
After that, it’s back to nothing or waist-high slop until Wednesday the 26th of August, where we see a similar story – a 3ft SSW swell with an 8-second period and 114 units of combined energy. Offshore winds in the morning should keep it clean, but again, it’s nothing to write home about. The period is still short, so the waves will be weak and crumbly.
The run from the 27th of August onward drops away completely – flat, glassy mornings, no swell energy at all. Honestly, for a beginner-friendly spot that rarely picks up consistent swell, this is a classic blank run. Keep an eye on the forecasts – they can change. But right now, if you’re looking for a wave, the morning of Friday the 21st of August is your only real shout.
Stay patient, 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.
