The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s lean. Voltri (Italy) is the only spot in the window, and we’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak conditions. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a solid 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a bath.
The first real chance of anything wave-like doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. We get a pulse of SW swell pushing 6ft, with a period of 7 seconds, so not a groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (433). That’s the biggest swell of the whole run, but the problem is the wind. It’s a light cross-shore from the east, which will put some crinkles on the surface. It’s marginal, borderline poor, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window. With that size, it’s okay for a confident beginner, but the crowd potential is there – this spot is sometimes busy.
The rest of the weekend and into the following week is a washout. Sunday the 30th has a tiny 2ft SSW swell with clean conditions, but it’s barely worth paddling for. From Monday the 31st of August right through to the 8th of September, the swell is either non-existent or so small (0.3ft to 1ft) and short-period that it’s not doing anything. Combined energy values are all in the single digits or low teens – weak. There are a few mornings with glassy or clean offshore winds, but no water to ride.
The 8th of September morning sees a slight bump: a 1ft SW swell with a 9-second period, giving a bit more shape, but still tiny. The wind is offshore from the north, so it’ll be clean. Again, for a longboard or a foiler, maybe. But for most of us, it’s a long wait for very little.
There is no standout day here. The best on offer is the morning of the 29th of August, but even that is a marginal, short-period windswell with cross-shore breeze. If you’re a kiteboarder, that afternoon on the 29th with a 3ft onshore breeze might be more interesting than paddle surfing. Don’t expect much else.

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.
