The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down the next 16 days for you.
Honestly, mate, I have to look you straight in the eye and tell you: it’s flat. We’re looking at a full 16-day stretch starting from the 10th of August with barely a ripple to get excited about. This isn’t a case of waiting a few days for a pulse of swell; this is a drought. The energy readings are all in the pathetic single or low double digits, maxing out at a measly 5. The forecast is calling for "poor surf conditions" on every single record. There’s just nothing to recommend.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the only break on offer is Voltri, a point break. It’s an inconsistent spot for beginners, and though the wind does swing offshore or glassy quite often—particularly in the mornings—there’s simply no swell to work with. The biggest wave height we see all fortnight is a paltry 0.4m on the afternoon of the 22nd of August, with a short period of 4 seconds and a combined energy of just 3. That’s not surfing; that’s bobbing around.
With no significant swell and the setup being a point break, the paddle-to-kite surfing angle doesn’t even apply—there’s no energy for either. This is just a blank run. It happens sometimes in this area, and when the forecasts are this stubbornly flat for so long, you don’t fight it.
Signing off, 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.
