Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a flat spell. We’ve got a long stretch of quiet water ahead, so let’s not beat around the bush.

The first sign of life is a tiny pulse on Sunday the 19th. Voltri will see a small 2ft south swell, but with a short period of 6 seconds, it’s not packing much punch. The energy is weak (40). Sunday morning is a cross-off breeze, but the swell is too small and weak to get excited about. By Sunday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, but the swell drops to 2ft and the energy is even weaker (16). It’s knee-high mush.

After that, it’s a dead run. From Monday the 20th right through to the end of July, the combined energy readings are mostly single digits or zero. There are days with no swell at all, and the few tiny bumps that show up are barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so the only thing you’ll be doing is floating.

There’s a very faint flicker on Thursday the 30th of July. A 1ft southwest swell with a 5-second period and the combined energy hits 7 for the morning. It’s still poor, but the wind is a cross-off, so it’s clean. The afternoon sees a tiny 2ft pulse from the southeast, but again, it’s just not enough.

The best of a bad bunch might be Friday the 31st of July. The morning has a 2ft southwest swell with a 6-second period and the energy creeps up to 30 (weak). The wind is offshore from the north, so it’s clean. But at that size and period, you’re looking at tiny, weak waves. It’s still a poor surf condition.

Everything else is flat. The whole window is a write-off for a proper surf. If you’ve got a kiteboard, you might see some interesting wind, but for paddle surfing, put the board away and go do something else.

For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is a bit more normal for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to ride.

Rusty.
