The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Alright, let’s be straight with you. The outlook for the next couple of weeks around here is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any waves to speak of for the first ten days or so. The water temp is sitting at 28°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a bit of a weird one. Don't get your hopes up for any sort of decent surf until we get to the back half of the window.
The first real glimmer of anything happens on Friday the 18th of September at Voltri, a point break that's best with a swell from the SSW. It's inconsistent and only really a beginner wave, but it's the only thing on the table. The morning of the 18th is looking clean with light offshore winds from the N, seeing a 6ft swell from the SE, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 293, so there's a bit of push behind it. The afternoon goes glassy, and the swell drops a touch. This is the standout, but it's not a classic.
Following that, the morning of Saturday the 19th of September has a 4ft swell from the SE with a slightly better 8-second period, but the energy is weaker at 163 and it's glassy. The afternoon gets cross-onshore, spoiling it. The morning of Sunday the 20th is worth a look with a clean, 2ft swell from the SSE, but the energy is only 55, so it's a fizzler.
The rest of the week into the 22nd is just tiny, inconsistent, poor surf. There's no real quality to latch onto. For a spot that's already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal.
So, to sum it up: if you're desperate, the best bet is the glassy conditions on the 18th of September at Voltri, but keep your expectations low. It's not a paddle-out for the ages.
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.
