The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this next 16-day stretch is a flat spell for the most part. We're looking at a long gap with next to nothing rideable. The first real sign of life pops up on Thursday, 10th September, with a tiny pulse of swell.
Let's talk about the water first. At Voltri, it's sitting at a balmy 82°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a very unusual warmth, so you'll be in boardshorts or a spring suit at most.
The only session that's even worth mentioning is Thursday morning, 10th September, at Voltri. We're looking at a tiny 2ft wave from the south, with a period of 6 seconds – that's short-period wind swell, weak and a bit messy. The combined energy is a paltry 40 (weak energy), so don't expect any push. The wind is light and offshore from the north, which will keep the surface clean. It's surfable, but only just. For a beginner, this is about as small as it gets.
After that, it's back to a long run of nothing. We've got a 10-day stretch from the 10th afternoon all the way through to the 20th September with only micro-ripples and zero energy. The odd 0.3ft or 0.7ft wave shows up, but it's generally onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy never gets above 19 (weak). It's a total write-off.
The 20th September shows a bit of a pulse again – 1ft from the SSW with a 7-second period and 18 (weak energy) combined energy. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, so it'll be smooth, but the swell is just too small to get excited about.
Honestly, for this region, a blank run like this is pretty normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, the only thing on offer is a tiny, clean window on Thursday morning. Don't bother paddling out until then, and even then, keep your expectations on the floor.
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.
