Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Voltri, so don’t expect any fireworks. There’s a brief window of something worth paddling out for, but it’s a short-lived pulse, and then we’re back to flat or junk.

The only real standout lands on Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We’ve got a 5ft SW swell rolling in, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 320, which is the most we’ll see in the whole run. The wind is a light NNE breeze at 3 mph, blowing cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean. It’s a point break, so it should handle that swell direction well. The water is a balmy 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 7° above average. That’s a rare treat. The break is inconsistent, so don’t expect a wave every minute, but when they come, they’ll be worth it. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so you might have to share the peak.

Before that, Friday the 28th morning is surfable but very ordinary. We’ve got a tiny 3ft SE swell with a short 5-second period, and the energy is only 72. The wind is cross-off, but it’s a stormy morning with a risk of thunderstorms, so it’s a big pass.

After Saturday, the swell drops off fast. Sunday the 30th morning has a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a 6-second period and offshore wind, but the energy is a weak 37. Not really worth suiting up for. From Monday the 31st through to the 6th of September, we’re looking at a flat spell with nothing but small wind ripples and glassy conditions. The 7th of September sees a 3ft SSW swell but the wind is onshore and strong at 12 mph, which will blow it out. The 8th of September morning has a 3ft SSW swell with offshore wind, so it’s clean, but the energy is only 101.

The 9th of September morning is the second-best option. A 4ft SSW swell with a 7-second period, cross-off wind, and moderate energy of 193. It’s surfable, but not as good as the 29th. After that, it’s back to flat or tiny leftovers through to the 12th.

So, to sum it up: if you’ve got a board, be on it Saturday morning the 29th of August. That’s the call. The rest is a write-off until the 9th, and even then it’s only just okay.

Rusty.
