The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The outlook for Voltri over the next 16 days is one of those quiet spells where the ocean just hasn’t got its act together. There’s a long stretch of nothing much on offer, so don’t be holding your breath for a proper surf session.
The first sniff of anything rideable comes on Friday the 18th of September. Even then, it’s super small. Thursday the 17th sees a tiny spike in energy, but the wind is all wrong – cross-onshore and cross-shore – so it’s messy and not worth paddling out. Friday morning (18th) is the closest thing we get to a highlight. Swell is dribbling in at 0.8 ft from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind goes glassy, with a light air from the NE keeping the surface clean. The combined wave energy is weak, coming in at just 43. It’s surfable, but it’s a real knee-high affair. The water temperature at Voltri is reading 80°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, almost bathwater.
After that little window, it fades back to next to nothing. We’re looking at a gap of several days with no real recommendations. From Saturday the 19th right through to the start of October, the swell drops to 0.3 ft or flat. The winds are often offshore or glassy, which is frustrating because the conditions would be clean, but there’s just no energy to work with. The combined energy reading stays at 1 or 2 – basically, the ocean is sleeping.
There are no standout days here. The entire 16-day window is a flat spell. For an exposed point break like Voltri, which is already inconsistent, this kind of blank run isn’t all that unusual. It just means you’ve got time to wax your board and wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, there’s nothing worth chasing.
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.
