The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a tough one for surfers. We’re looking at a serious flat spell. From now through till around the 27th of July, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and not worth paddling out for. The swell energy is barely a whisper, with the combined energy of all swells directed here stuck in the low two-digit range, like 21 or 30. You’ll see a few faint pulses of 2ft swell from the SSW, but with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds, it’s just not going to wrap in with any punch. The wind does offer some glassy or light offshore windows in the mornings, but with no wave to surf, it’s a tease.
Around the 27th of July, we finally get a little bump of life. The morning of the 27th shows a 4ft SSE swell with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 91. It’s still not big, but it’s the most movement we’ve seen. The wind is offshore from the North at 6 mph, keeping things clean. This is our only real standout in the whole run. The swell direction is SSE, which is a bit off the optimum SSW direction for Voltri, but it’s still the best we’ve got. The afternoon of the 27th drops off a bit to 3ft, but still clean with a light cross-off breeze.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The 28th of July has a 1ft SW groundswell at 9 seconds, which is a longer period, but it’s just too small to do anything with. The morning of the 29th has a 2ft SSW swell, but with a 6-second period and a combined energy of 60, it’s just ordinary. The rest of the forecast into early August is flat, with nothing but cracks and dribbles.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is Saturday morning, July 27th at Voltri. It’s the only day where the swell gets over 3ft, the wind is offshore and clean, and the energy is at its highest. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only game in town. The rest of the time, you’re better off finding something else to do.
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.
