The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a bummer. We're staring down a long stretch of flat, poor-to-no-surf conditions for most of the period. The combined swell energy is a measly 7 or less on the days we do see a wave, which is basically nothing. Let's break it down day by day.
The week starts off tiny. Monday the 20th of July, we've got a tiny 1ft swell from the SW, but the period is a short 5 seconds. It's a "poor surf conditions" call, so don't get your hopes up. The afternoon turns glassy, but the wave is just too weak to ride.
Then it gets worse. From Tuesday the 21st of July right through to the end of the month, we're looking at a flat spell. The combined energy reading is a big fat zero. Some mornings have clean, offshore winds, but there's simply no swell to push. It's a quiet, empty stretch of water.
We get a tiny flicker of life on Tuesday the 28th of July. A 0.7ft SSE swell creeps in on the morning glass-off, but it's a 4-second period, so it's pure windswash. The energy is a 1. Not worth paddling out for. The afternoon sees a 1ft swell with a bit more energy (9), but the wind swings onshore and the quality is still "poor."
The conditions stay small and messy through the end of July and into the start of August. The best chance for a surfable wave might be on Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning brings a 2ft SSW swell (period 6 seconds) with a clean offshore breeze from the N. The combined energy is a moderate 37, which is the highest we've seen, but it's still small. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The wave itself is a weak right-hand point break at Voltri, but it's an inconsistent spot that rarely gets a proper swell. The wind is good, though, so it'll be clean if it breaks. That afternoon it goes glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft.
After that, it's back to tiny, clean conditions on the 3rd and 4th, but with energy readings dropping back to 5 or less.
Honestly, there's no standout day here. The only one that even looks like it could offer a wave is the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. If you're desperate, go check Voltri for a few clean, tiny rollers. For everyone else, it's a blank run. Keep an eye on the charts, though – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
