Table - best surf conditions forecast for Voltri over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and talk about what's actually going on with the surf over the next 16 days. Honestly, it's a tough stretch for anyone looking for a proper wave. There's a long dry spell right through the middle of the period.
We start off on Friday, July 10th, with nothing to ride. Glassy conditions in the morning at Voltri with a 3 mph offshore breeze, but the swell is a measly 0.3 ft from the SW. The water is a balmy 80° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's small comfort when there's no wave to catch. The combined energy is a flat 1, so you're just looking at a flat, clean lake. The afternoon doesn't get any better with a light cross-onshore wind.
The whole weekend of the 11th and 12th is basically the same story. Tiny bumps of 1 ft to 2 ft from the SE or S, with periods under 6 seconds. Yes, there are some clean windows with offshore or glassy wind, like Sunday afternoon with a glassy 3 mph SW breeze, but the swell energy is still pathetic (21). It's not rideable.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Monday, July 13th, right through to the end of the 25th, it's a massive gap of nearly two weeks where the 'combined energy' values are almost all a 1 or a 0. You'll get glimmers of clean conditions, like Thursday morning the 16th with a 9 mph offshore NNW wind and glassy surface, but the swell is just 0.3 ft. It's a total flat spell for any paddle surfing.
The only faint glimmer comes on the morning of Sunday, July 19th. We get a 1 ft swell from the SW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy bumps up to 35. The wind is a clean offshore 9 mph from the NNW, which would make it look clean. But 1 ft is still knee-high at best, and the period is short. It's a poor surf option, but if you're desperate, it's the only window with a tiny bit of push. The afternoon of that same day sees a similar size but with a cross-on breeze.
So, to be brutally honest, there's nothing to get excited about here. The forecast shows a long, flat run that's more normal for the area when it gets like this. You'd be better off checking the forecast next week because things can change, but right now, leave the boards in the shed. This is a kite-surfing setup only if you have a very small kite and a lot of patience.
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.
