The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with a look at our local stretch for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a quiet run for Voltri. We've got a long, dry spell ahead with barely a ripple for days. The water is sitting at a very warm 84°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year—really unusual, you’d be sweating just floating around.
The first real sniff of something surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday 20 August morning. We’ll see a small bump from the SSW, about 4ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is moderate, coming in at 143. The wind is offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. After that, we slide back into very small or poor conditions for days.
There’s another small window on the morning of Wednesday 26 August, with similar 4ft SSW swell and a 7-second period. The energy is moderate again at 102, and the offshore NNW wind will keep it clean. It’s still ordinary, but it’s the best on offer in that stretch.
The one standout is the Monday afternoon, 31 August. This is the best-looking day in the whole outlook. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the SE, with a period of 6 seconds and strong energy hitting 224. The wind goes glassy from the N, which is a major positive—clean, smooth surf. It’s on the bigger side, so not really for beginners, but for anyone comfortable in that range, this will be the best and most consistent surf of the period. Keep an eye on it, but it’s far out, so treat it as promising rather than locked in.
After that, the trend drops back to small, clean but weak waves through the start of September.
Overall, a lot of flat and weak days, but if you’re patient, that Monday 31 August is the clear highlight.

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.
