The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk Voltri. It’s looking lean, real lean. For a spot that’s already hit-and-miss, we’re in for a long stretch of nothing much. The first sign of any real surf doesn’t show up until Thursday the 18th, and even that’s a stretch.
From now through Wednesday the 16th, it’s flat. Swells around 0.3ft to 0.7ft, periods under 8 seconds. You’d be better off taking up golf. The water temp at the start is a crazy warm 80°, way above normal – you’ll be in boardies, but there’s nothing to ride.
Thursday the 17th: a S swell around 3ft, 6 second period, combined energy at 122 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore from the SSE, so it’ll be choppy and ugly. Not worth your time.
Friday the 18th morning is your one small window. A SSW swell about 3ft, 6 second period, combined energy 62 (weak), but with a light NE cross-offshore wind, it will at least look clean. It’s surfable, but barely. Beginners might get a couple of knee-high sliders. After that? Dead.
From Saturday the 19th all the way through to Tuesday the 29th, it’s a flat spell. We’re talking swells maxing out at 1ft, periods short, combined energy mostly in the single digits. Plenty of glassy mornings and offshore breezes, but no waves to go with ’em. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. If the wind holds, kite surfers might have fun, but for proper surfing, there’s nothing doing.
No true standouts. The only day with a pulse is Friday the 18th morning, and it’s a weak one.
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.
