The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to level with you—this is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day window for the local area, and honestly, the surf is pretty much a no-show. There’s a patch of tiny, weak waves in the first week, but nothing that’s gonna get you out of bed. From the 15th of September right through to the 23rd, it’s dead flat—zero on the energy front. So we’re talking over a week of nothing. That’s a long gap.
Let’s start with what little we have. The only spot with any data is Voltri (point break). It’s a beginner-friendly point, but it’s inconsistent and rare to break. The crowd factor is “sometimes” so you might have company. The water temp is about average for the time of year—nothing unusual there.
The first tiny pulse comes Tuesday morning, 8th September. We’re seeing a 2 ft swell from the SSW, period a short 4 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 18 (weak). Wind is light offshore from the N at 3 mph, so it’s clean. But with that short period and tiny height, it’s barely rideable. By Wednesday, 9th September, it’s even smaller—2 ft from the S, period 4 seconds, energy down to 10. Offshore wind from the SSE, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms, so conditions are messy.
Thursday the 10th sees a cleaner setup with NNW winds at 9 mph offshore, but the swell drops to 0.7 ft from the SSW, energy at 4. That’s a wave for a longboard, if you’re lucky. Friday the 11th gives a slight bump to 2 ft from the S, period still short at 5 seconds, energy 24. The wind goes glassy from the N at 3 mph in the afternoon—that’s as good as it gets for this stretch, but it’s still tiny. Saturday and Sunday (12th and 13th) are even smaller, with 0.7 ft to 0.3 ft swells, glassy or offshore, but energy in the single digits. You’re looking at micro-surf.
From Monday the 14th onward, it’s a flat line. No swell, no energy—just clean, glassy conditions with no waves. The 8th of September morning is the standout, purely because there’s a 2 ft swell with light offshore wind and clear skies. It’s not a proper wave, but it’s the only window where you might get a slide. For anyone else, this is kite-surfing weather if the wind picks up, but for paddle surfing, it’s a quiet one.
Hang in there, mate. Forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.

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.
