The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Voltri over the next couple of weeks. Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty grim. The forecast is a long, dry stretch with barely a ripple. There’s a big gap here from the start of the period all the way through to the 9th of September before we see any real swell energy, and even then, it’s a tough sell.

We kick things off on Wednesday the 2nd with tiny, weak surf. Wednesday morning you’ve got 0.7ft of south swell with a short period of 4 seconds, and the combined energy is only a measly 3. It’s clean with a light NNW offshore, but honestly, there’s nothing to ride. That afternoon the wind swings onshore and it’s even smaller. Thursday the 3rd brings a glassy morning, but again, we’re talking 0.7ft at 4 seconds – not even worth waxing up. The pattern continues: Friday the 4th is flat, Saturday the 5th is 0.7ft to 1ft of cross-onshore slop, and Sunday the 6th has a brief moment with 1ft and a 5-second period, giving us a combined energy of 5. It’s clean with a light offshore, but it’s still just ankle-biters. The rest of the first week is a write-off – flat mornings and glassy afternoons with nothing to push a board.

Now, the first real standout comes on Wednesday the 9th of September. The afternoon shows a pulse of 2ft south swell, with a combined energy of 9 – still weak, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen. The wind is a cross-onshore at 15 km/h, making it a bit choppy, so it’s not clean. Given the tiny size and poor quality, this is more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle session. Thursday the 10th has a bit of a mix – a morning of 0.3ft with a longer period of 8 seconds, but the afternoon offers 2ft from the southeast and a combined energy of 18 (moderate). It’s clean with a cross-offshore breeze, so that’s your best bet for the whole outlook. Still, it’s small and inconsistent.

After that, it tails off again. Friday the 11th through to the 17th of September are all tiny, with 0.3ft to 1ft swells, periods under 7 seconds, and combined energy rarely breaking 10. The wind is often offshore or glassy, but the ocean just isn’t delivering. The 12th of September has a glassy afternoon with 1ft, which is okay for a beginner to practice on, but it’s not going to get anyone excited.

Overall, there’s no true standout here. The best on offer is Thursday the 10th of September afternoon – 2ft of southeast swell, 18 combined energy, and clean conditions. But even then, it’s nothing to write home about. Voltri is a point break that’s exposed to SSW swell, but this pulse is from the southeast, so it’s not hitting the right angle. It’s inconsistent and rarely breaks with any real quality. If you’re desperate, you might get a few knee-highers, but honestly, it’s a long wait for very little. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Stay patient, and don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.

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.
