The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for this stretch of coast. It’s a rough one, I’ll be honest.

We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for the first few days. From Friday the 4th, there’s no surf to speak of. The whole region is flat, and that’s going to stick around for a long while. I’m talking about a big gap of tiny, weak, or non-existent waves through the first week and into the second. You’ll see a few bumps, but nothing worth paddling for.

The only spot on the map is Voltri, a point break that’s known for being inconsistent and best for beginners. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting.

Let’s run through it. Saturday the 5th brings a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW with a weak period of 5 seconds and combined energy of just 5 (5). That’s not a wave. Cross-onshore winds mess it up anyway. Sunday the 6th has a morning offshore but the swell drops to 0.7ft with a 4-second period and energy of 3 (3). It’s not surfable.

The week drags on the same way. On Wednesday the 9th, we finally see a pulse of 3ft from the SSW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 92 (92). The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, so the surface will look clean. This is the closest thing to a surfable wave in the whole 16-day forecast, but it’s still a very ordinary, weak wave. It’s fun for a beginner on a foamie if you’re desperate, but that’s the best it gets.

After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Tiny swells of 0.3ft to 1ft with pathetic energy levels, and inconsistent winds that swing around. Even on the 16th of September, when we see 3ft from the SSE with a 6-second period and energy of 50 (50), the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. Not appealing.

The last few days of the outlook, the 18th and 19th, have clean offshore winds from the NNW, but the swell is barely a ripple at 0.7ft to 1ft. It’s a tease.

Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session here. The best you can hope for is a quick, glassy window on the afternoon of the 9th for a tiny, weak wave. For this area, these long flat spells are pretty normal. It’s a tough run, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
