The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at this forecast. To be straight with you, the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a bummer. We’re looking at a long stretch of minimal, weak swell and less-than-ideal conditions. The first real possibility of anything surfable won’t show up until Tuesday the 25th of August, so there’s a gap of about a week of nothing worth recommending.
The only spot in the frame is Voltri, a point break that’s best with a swell from the SSW. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect it to fire often, and when it does, it’s a beginner-friendly wave. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual, like bathwater.
The first hint of something to talk about is on Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. We’ve got a 3ft SSW swell (combined energy of 110 – moderate) with a period of 7 seconds, so it’s a bit short-period and windswell-y. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about right. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s not a standout.
The next glimmer comes on Thursday afternoon, the 27th of August. The swell is 3ft from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is 99 – still weak. But the wind is glassy, which is a major positive. The surface will be clean, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about.
Then on Friday morning, the 28th of August, we see a 3ft SSW swell with a 7-second period (combined energy of 73). The wind is offshore from the N at 6 mph, again giving clean conditions. It’s another “surfable but ordinary” call.
The very last day of the forecast, Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, brings a 2ft SSW swell with an 8-second period (combined energy of 51). The wind is offshore from the N at 9 mph, so it’s clean. This is another one of those just-about-surfable windows.
The rest of the days are filled with tiny, weak swell and poor surf conditions. Honestly, the best day on offer is Tuesday the 25th with that small offshore clean wave, but it’s a very low bar. If you’re desperate, you might get a few knee-high noodles. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

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.
