Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what the next couple of weeks has in store for us. Let’s be straight with each other – this is a tough stretch to find a wave.
Honestly, we’re looking at a long, flat spell to kick things off. From now through the first week, and into the second, the swell is tiny. We're talking waves mostly around 0.3 ft to 1 ft, with short, weak periods between 4 and 6 seconds. The combined wave energy is almost non-existent, barely registering above single digits most of the time. It’s a real bummer for surfers, with the exception of maybe a few of the more sheltered breaks. The only break we've got any data for is Voltri, and it’s rated as inconsistent for a reason.
Wednesday afternoon, July 8th kicks off the outlook, but it’s a poor surf day with a tiny 0.7 ft S swell at a 4-second period. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSE at 6 mph, and the energy is a measly (2). The water temp though is a notable 79°, which is *much warmer than normal* for the time of year – over 5° warmer than average. Still, no waves.
Thursday morning, July 9th is a tease. We get a clean, offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph, but it’s on a 1.0 ft SSW swell. It’s glassy, but there’s just no power behind it. The water temp anomaly isn’t noted for these later entries, but the pattern continues.
We see a few moments of glassy conditions, like Thursday afternoon, July 9th with calm wind and a slightly better 1.0 ft SW swell (energy 7), and Friday morning, July 10th with clean offshores on a 0.7 ft SSW swell. But it’s all just too small to get excited about.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, comes much later. Thursday afternoon, July 16th, we finally see a pulse of something. Voltri will see a 3 ft SSW swell, with a 6-second period, pushing the combined energy up to (91). That’s still weak-to-moderate energy, but it’s the biggest wave height in the whole outlook. The wind is a cross-onshore from the SSE at 6 mph, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the only time you might see a rideable wave. It’s still marked as poor surf conditions. Given the small size and less-than-ideal wind, this isn't a day for beginners; it's barely a day for anyone.
After the 16th, it drops right back down. Friday morning, July 17th has a 2 ft S swell with a cross-shore wind, and the energy drops to (61). Then we're back to tiny waves and flat spells through the 22nd. A brief moment on Thursday morning, July 23rd shows a glassy morning with a 1.0 ft SSW swell, but that’s it.
So, what’s the call? There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. This is a classic summer flat spell for the area. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the afternoon of the 16th of July is your only real shot at Voltri, but keep your expectations on the floor. For everything else, it’s a long wait.

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.
