The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Voltri. To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat. It’s a tough stretch for any kind of paddle surfing. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a massive 7° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, so it feels like a bath out there. The issue is there’s just no energy in the water.
The best chance you’ll get in the whole 16-day window is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. Even then, it’s not a day to write home about. We’ll have a small 3ft swell from the SSW, but with a short period of 7 seconds, it won’t have any grunt. The combined energy is a weak 77, so it’s barely ticking over. The wind is a light offshore from the north, which will clean it up, making it look better than it probably is. I’d call it surfable but very ordinary.
Voltri is a point break, often a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s inconsistent and can get busy. For the 22nd, don’t expect much more than knee-high slop. It’s the absolute best of a very poor bunch, and honestly, that’s not saying much. The rest of the week and the week after is mostly tiny, onshore mush or complete flatness. You’d be better off checking the forecast again in a few days, because right now, the gear’s staying in the shed.

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.
