The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. It’s a rough stretch ahead for surf around here. The only break that’s even worth talking about is Voltri. It’s a point break, so it’s got that going for it, but it’s inconsistent, and honestly, it’s a beginner-friendly wave so it’s not going to be pushing any limits. Water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, you’ll be surfing in a warm bath.
We’ve got a massive gap right out of the gate. The first real window of anything surfable doesn’t come until Friday, August 21st. Early that morning, the wind is glassy from the NE at 3 mph, with a weak little 3 ft swell from the SW, period a short 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly (77) – it’s weak. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That afternoon, things go south with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind, so that’s a write-off.
Saturday, August 22nd is your best bet in the whole outlook. The morning is clean with a light offshore breeze from the N at 6 mph. Swell is 4 ft from the SSW, period 7 seconds, and the energy bumps up to a moderate (157). It’s not a huge day, but with offshore wind at a point break, it’ll be the cleanest, most fun wave you’ll find. The afternoon drops off quickly with a smaller 3 ft and cross-off wind.
Then it’s a long, bleak stretch. From Sunday, August 23rd right through to the end of August, it’s pretty much flat or tiny, with only a few very weak pulses. On the 29th, the morning shows a 3 ft swell from the SSW, period 7 seconds, with a light offshore. The energy is (91) – still weak, and it’s just surfable, not good. The rest of the days are dominated by poor conditions, onshore winds, and tiny swell.
The forecast into early September doesn’t look any better. There’s a bit of a bump on September 2nd, with a 5 ft SSW swell hitting the afternoon, but it’s onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms, so it’s a write-off. The energy jumps to a moderate (202), but the wind messes it up completely.
Honestly, if you’re a surfer, focus on Saturday, August 22nd. That’s the standout. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only clean, rideable option in a very quiet forecast. For the rest of it, you might be better off on a kite if the wind picks up, because the paddle surfing is looking grim.

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.
