The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s get into it for Voltri.
Honestly, it’s a grim picture for the next sixteen days. There’s a whole heap of nothing at the start, with no surf worth paddling out for until the end of the month. You’re looking at a long dry spell from now all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. That’s a solid five days with nothing rideable.
Finally, on Saturday the 29th of August, we get a pulse of life. The morning sees a clean 4ft swell from the SSW with a period of 7 seconds. There’s a gentle, clean offshore wind from the NNW, which will tidy things up nicely. The combined energy hits a very weak 108, so it’s modest, but rideable. By the afternoon, the wind drops to glassy with a 3ft SSW swell (114 energy). The waves will be small and a bit fat for the size.
This pick of the run is the Saturday session, no doubt. Voltri is an exposed point, and this SSW swell direction lines up with what it likes. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect waves every set. For a beginner-level break, that 3ft to 4ft is perfect, though the short period will make them a bit crumbly.
The rest of the outlook is a bust. Sunday the 30th drops back to 1ft, the following days are flat or tiny, and by the start of September, it’s back to micro swell. Even the long-range few days around the 7th of September show only 0.3ft. Not worth a look. You can check the kitesurfers on the bigger wind days, but for a paddle surfer, this is a pretty normal blank run for the region. If nothing else, keep an eye on the forecasts—it never stays flat forever.
Best on offer: Voltri, Saturday the 29th of August. 24th August 2024’s water temp is 82°, a huge 7° above average—that’s very unusual, bath-like warmth.
Don't hold your breath for the second week; there’s nothing in it.
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.
