The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for a proper surf. There’s a big gap of about a week with nothing worth paddling out for from the start.
The first real chance to get wet comes around on the morning of Saturday, August 29th. Swell from the SSW will push in at about 4ft, but with a short period of 7 seconds, it won’t have much punch. The wind will be light offshore from the north, keeping it clean, but the energy is only moderate (127), so don’t expect any barrels. The water is sitting at a very warm 83°F, which is about 7 degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – like a warm bath out there.
Our main spot to look at is Voltri, a point break. It’s an inconsistent little wave, so when it does show up you have to be on it. The crowds are only sometimes there, which is a bonus. For the best chance, aim for Saturday afternoon, August 29th – the wind goes glassy, but the swell drops to 3ft. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the closest thing to a surfable wave in the whole outlook.
After that, Sunday morning, August 30th sees a little 2ft swell from the SW with a gentle offshore breeze, but the energy is weak (51). For the rest of the run into early September, the numbers just don’t stack up. It’s flat, it’s messy, or the wind is onshore. The period from August 31st right through to September 6th is pretty much a write-off with tiny windswell and poor conditions.
If you’re desperate, the morning of the 29th is your best bet. Otherwise, it’s time to wait for the next weather system to change the game.
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.
