The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what’s coming down the line.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim outlook for a while. There’s no real surf to get excited about for the next several days. The water is sitting at a very unusual 80° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a quirky detail but doesn’t help the waves.
We’ve got a long dry spell starting right now. The first hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 29th of August. That’s a good four or five days of flat, small, or just messy conditions. So, be patient.
Saturday, 29th August – Morning
This is the one standout in the whole 16-day window, and it’s a bit of a tease. Voltri (point) will see a solid 7ft swell from the SSW, but with a short period of only 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (592). The wind is light and cross-shore from the East at 5 km/h, which isn’t ideal but it’s not trashing it either. The problem is, this break is inconsistent, and with that short period, it might be a bit lumpy. Still, it’s the biggest push of energy we get. This size is going to be a bit much for beginners. There’s a chance of crowds, so get in early.
Sunday, 30th August – Morning
After that, we drop right back down. The morning starts off glassy from the NE at 5 km/h, with a tiny 3ft SSW swell. The energy is weak (45). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. If you’re desperate for a paddle and a clean surface, it’s an option for the longboard, but don’t expect much.
Tuesday, 1st September – Morning
A little bump of 2ft from the SW with a light offshore wind from the NNW at 10 km/h. Clean, but tiny. Combined energy is still weak (45). Again, very ordinary.
Monday, 7th September – Afternoon
Way out in the second week, we get a little clean-up. A light offshore breeze from the NNW at 15 km/h, with a 2ft SSW swell. It’s clean, but the energy is weak (40). It’s a far cry from the Saturday morning spike.
So, to be clear: the only real shot at something with a bit of push is Saturday morning the 29th. Everything else is small, weak, or flat. It’s a tough forecast for the region.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the sky, and don’t bother checking the buoys.
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.
