Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and let me walk you through this stretch. Rusty here.

Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty bleak picture for a surf at Voltri. We've got a solid run of tiny, weak surf with barely any energy behind it. The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn't show up until much later, so you're looking at a long gap of nearly two weeks with basically nothing to get excited about.

Monday 06 July, afternoon – The first entry is a tiny 1.0ft swell from the SSW, but it's a 4-second period and the combined energy is only (4). That's barely a ripple. The water is sitting at 77°, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year, a solid 4° above average. But with a 1.0ft, 4-second wave, you're not getting in for that.

This pattern just continues. Day after day of 0.3ft to 1ft swell, periods mostly between 3 and 5 seconds, and combined energy that rarely cracks double digits. The wind is often light or glassy, which is a positive for the surface, but there's simply no swell to work with. It's flat, mate.

Things stay dead through to Saturday 19 July when we finally see a pulse of 2ft from the south on the morning with a 5-second period and energy of (21). It's still poor conditions according to the data, but it's a slight uptick. The afternoon drops back to 2ft with a glassy surface.

Sunday 20 July morning is where we finally get our one and only standout. It’s not a world-beater, but compared to everything else, it’s the pick. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SW with a 7-second period, pushing the combined energy to (74). The wind is light from the north, almost glassy. It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but for Voltri, that’s as good as it gets in this outlook. The swell direction matches the optimum from the SSW direction for this exposed point break. If you’re desperate for a paddle, this Monday morning is your only real shot. The afternoon goes onshore and drops off quickly.

After that, we’re back into the same routine. Tiny 0.3ft and 0.7ft swells with no power through to the end of the forecast.

For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run isn’t a complete shock, but it’s a tough watch. Keep an eye on the charts; it can’t stay this flat forever.

Rusty.
