The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for this area is a tough one to watch. The swell is barely registering, and I’m looking at a whole lot of flat, small, and weak conditions. The first real surf on offer is a whisper, and we’re going to have to be patient.
The first sign of life is at Voltri (Italy) on Friday, July 31st. We’re talking a tiny 0.7ft swell from the SSW, with a period of just 4 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly 1-2 (weak). It’s essentially flat. The wind does go glassy in the morning, but there’s nothing to ride. Saturday and Sunday, August 1st and 2nd, are a step up but still small. The swell bumps to 1.3ft from the SSW, with a 5-second period, and the energy climbs to 11 (weak). The mornings are the time to be there, with a light offshore from the N keeping things clean, and a glassy period on Sunday afternoon. It’s not going to be memorable, but for a beginner, it’s an option. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Monday, August 3rd, through to the end of the first week, it’s a blank. The combined energy drops to zero. Not a ripple. August 4th has a tiny 0.3ft pulse, but it’s not enough to change the outlook. This gap lasts for several days.
We get a small pick-up on Saturday, August 8th. The swell reaches 1.6ft from the SW, with a period of 5 seconds and energy of 13 (weak). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not clean. The morning of Sunday, August 9th, has a glassy start with 1.3ft from the SW, which is the best of a bad bunch. After that, it’s back to tiny pulses and long gaps.
The only standout, if you can call it that, is a brief window on Monday morning, August 10th, and Tuesday morning, August 11th. The swell is only 0.3ft, but it’s a long-period 7-second groundswell from the SW, with a clean offshore wind from the NNW giving it a polished look. The energy is still only 3 (weak). It’s a tease of a clean lineup, but the tiny size means it’s barely surfable. After that, the forecast is essentially flat again through the second week, with a risk of thunderstorms on the 14th and 15th of August. This setup is far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Bottom line: this is a lean period. The surf is poor, inconsistent, and rarely breaks properly. Things have to change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
