The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The outlook for our region is a bit of a struggle for the next couple of weeks. We've got a long stretch of flatness ahead.
First up, the only spot on the radar is Voltri, a point break that's usually for the beginners but it's inconsistent, which is a real shame. The water is sitting at a very unusual 80°—that's a massive 9° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels like a bath out there.
The pattern kicks off on Sunday the 13th with nothing—complete flatness, just glassy water. That continues all through the first week. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th tease you with a tiny 0.3ft of south swell, but the period is short at 6 to 7 seconds, so there's no energy behind it. The combined energy is only 1, basically nothing.
We finally see a pulse of life on Thursday the 17th. It's not big, with 3ft from the south, but the period is a weak 6 seconds. The wind is glassy in the morning, so it'll be clean, but the combined energy is still only 48. A risk of thunderstorms is hanging around too. That afternoon, a 2ft south-west swell with a slightly better 8-second period shows up, and the wind turns offshore from the north at 6 mph, cleaning things right up. The energy nudges up to 51. For this break, that's about as good as it gets, but honestly, it's still ordinary.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. From Friday the 18th all the way through to Sunday the 28th of September, the forecast is pretty much flat. There's a tiny blip on Wednesday the 23rd with 1ft from the south-south-west, but the period is a miserable 5 seconds, and the energy is a paltry 11. Not worth paddling out for.
So the only real window for a wave is Thursday the 17th, and even then, it's for the absolute beginner who just wants a tiny, clean bump. The rest of the time, we're looking at a long, dry spell. It's a quiet period for the area, but it won't stay poor forever. Forecasts change.
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.
