Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into what we've got lined up for the next sixteen days. It's a pretty quiet run overall for this region, so let's not get our hopes up too high just yet.

The outlook kicks off with very small, weak surf. On Wednesday the 26th, we're looking at a tiny 2ft SSW swell, but the wind is all over the place, leaving conditions pretty ordinary. Thursday the 27th is even smaller, with a 0.7ft SSW swell in the morning, although a clean offshore from the north at 6 mph will at least make the water look pretty. Honestly, there's nothing worth paddling out for in these first few days, with wave energy in the 26-26 range and a score of zero across the board.

We get a little bump on Saturday the 29th. The morning shows a 4ft SSW swell and the north-northeast wind is cross-offshore, making it clean. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 102, and there’s a score of 1 given for "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's small for most, but a beginner might have a fun little pop on the clean ones. Sunday the 30th stays small again, with a 2ft SSW swell that morning, but the wind is offshore and light from the north, leaving it clean. The afternoon actually turns glassy with a 1ft SW swell—the water will be like a mirror, but there's just not enough push.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Monday the 31st of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September, there are several days with absolutely no swell showing up. The wave energy is at zero. It’s a real blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now, that's a long stretch of flat, glassy water. For a spot that's already inconsistent, this kind of break isn't unusual, but it's still frustrating.

Things try to wake up later on. On Wednesday the 9th of September, we see a 2ft S swell in the morning with glassy conditions from a light breeze. It’s nothing special. The real standout if you’re being patient is Thursday the 10th of September. The morning brings a 4ft SSW swell, combined energy of 104, and glassy conditions with an easterly breeze. The score is a 1, which is the best we see, and the clean surface will make those small waves look a lot better than they are. It’s the only session in the whole window that has any real appeal.

So there you have it. A long, quiet outlook with just a couple of small windows of hope. The best of it will be the glassy morning on Thursday the 10th of September at Voltri. Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath.

Rusty.
