Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here.

Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next sixteen days are a real struggle for surf around here. Don’t hold your breath for any kind of meaningful session. The only spot on the radar is Voltri, a point break that’s beginner-friendly but inconsistent. It’s not offering much at all, and we’ve got a massive gap of dead flat conditions right in the middle.

Right now, Sunday the 30th of August, you’re looking at a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a short 6-second period and weak energy (35). The morning is glassy, so it’s pretty, but there’s just no power. The afternoon drops even further.

Monday the 31st is a write-off – 0.7ft swell, if you can even call it that. Tuesday the 1st of September sees a slight uptick with a 2ft SSW swell and a clean offshore wind from the north, but the energy is still very weak (25) and the period is short. It’s barely rideable.

Then, from Wednesday the 2nd of September right through to the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, it’s completely flat. Zero swell. Nothing. You’re better off doing something else.

Finally, on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, we get a little blip of life. A 2ft S swell with a 6-second period and moderate energy (46) rolls in. The wind is offshore from the NNW, so it’s clean. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as optimistic as it gets. It’s not good, but it’s the best of a very bad bunch. After that, it’s back to tiny dribbles and flat spells for the rest of the week and into the next.

Given the exposed point setup, the tiny swell and short period are just not enough. The place is inconsistent, and when it does break, it’s poor. Honestly, with such weak, short-period energy and the clean but empty conditions, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. It’s a blank run, and that’s pretty normal for this area when the forecasts are this desperate.
