The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve stared at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s flat. Properly flat. We’re looking at a long stretch of not much, so if you’ve got a board that needs dusting off, you might be waiting a while.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any real waves. We’re talking ankle-biters at best, and even those are few and far between. The first few days, like Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th, are completely hopeless, with nothing but tiny, weak slop showing up. The swell energy is basically non-existent, in the single digits for most of the time. There's a tiny pulse of 1ft on the morning of Thursday the 10th, but the period is a weak 3 seconds and it’s messy. That’s not surfing, that’s bobbing around.
The most interesting day, if you can even call it that, is Friday the 11th. The morning shows a bit of life with a 1ft swell from the SSE, but the period is still a short 5 seconds. The combined energy is 10, which is about as energetic as it gets all week, but that’s still weak. It’ll be clean, with a light offshore wind, but it’s not going to be a barrel. It's just the best of a bad bunch.
After that, we sink back into the doldrums. The second week is just more of the same – tiny waves, inconsistent, and no real power behind any of it. There's a little bump of 0.7ft from the SSW on the afternoon of the 20th, but it's a tease.
Look, the water temp is about average for this time of year, so that’s not a factor. The bottom line is, you're not missing anything. If you're desperate, Voltri (Italy) is the only spot on the map, but even the wind looks better for a kite than a surfboard on some days. This is a blank run, plain and simple. It happens here. Forecasts change though, so don't lose hope. But for now, you’re better off finding something else to do.
Rusty, out.

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.
