The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer around here. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long dry spell with barely a ripple, so don’t be in any rush to wax up.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Tuesday, August 18th. Before that, it’s flat. Days of glassy, clean conditions but absolutely no swell to speak of. You could be out there on a stand-up paddleboard, but you won’t be surfing.
So, on Tuesday the 18th, Voltri finally sees a pulse. It’s tiny—a 3ft swell from the S, with a short period of 6 seconds. Combined wave energy is weak at 86. That’s not going to get the heart racing. The morning could be glassy with some risk of t-storms, which might clean it up a bit, but it’s still very ordinary surf.
That tiny bump fades quickly through the rest of the week, dropping back to nothing by Thursday the 20th. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only excitement.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The single best chance to get wet would be the early morning of Tuesday the 18th at Voltri. It’s a point break, exposed to SSW swells, so when it does get a touch of S swell, it can work. But with barely 3ft and a weak 6-second period, it’s strictly for a longboard or a funboard, and only if you’re desperate. The crowds are only sometimes an issue, so that’s no worry at least. It’s an inconsistent spot anyway, so this kind of flat run isn’t unusual.
Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this flat forever, but for now, the 16-day outlook is more about waiting than surfing.

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.
