The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's talk about the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna be a real flat spell, no doubt about it. Don’t get your hopes up too high, but don't throw the boards in the attic just yet, as there's one little window that might get your heart pumping.
The entire run starts out with a whole lot of nothing. For days on end, there’s just no swell to speak of. The water’s running warm, about 82°, which is way above the norm for this time of year, so at least it’ll be a comfortable paddle.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday the 17th. We get a small pulse of swell, around 2ft from the S, with a period of 6 seconds. Energy is weak, barely registering at 32. The morning wind is light cross-offshore, which should keep it clean. This is your window, but it's a small one. The break, Voltri, is inconsistent, so you'll be sitting and waiting. The afternoon wind turns cross-shore and messes things up, so be there early. It’s a beginner-friendly point, but at this size, it’s more about fun than anything serious.
After that, it looks like we're back to the flat spell for another week straight. There are a few days with barely a ripple, like the 25th and 26th of September, with 0.3ft swells and basically no energy behind them. Offshore winds will make it glassy, but there’s just no push.
So, if you're really jonesing, the 17th is the day. Keep expectations low, but it's the only game in town. For the rest of you, maybe it’s time to find another hobby for a bit. But don't fret, these flat spells often don’t last forever.
Rusty out.

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.
