The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for our patch of coast. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s looking grim. There’s a proper dry spell on the cards, so don’t go getting your hopes up.
We’ve got a single spot on the radar, Voltri, and it’s a point break that’s pretty inconsistent. The water’s sitting at about 82°F right now, which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s weird, even for the Mediterranean. The forecast is a long, painful stretch of tiny waves and bad conditions. For the first few days, from Monday the 24th right through to the end of the week, it’s just no good. We’re looking at flat spells or ankle-snappers with cross-shore and onshore breezes messing up what little bump there is. The combined swell energy is in the single digits – a measly 2 to 7 – so there’s just nothing to work with.
The only faint glimmer in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. We’ve got a little 3ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds, and a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy hits 77, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. The waves are surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary. The crowd factor here is listed as “sometimes”, so you might bump into a few others, but honestly, that won’t be an issue.
After that, it’s back to the same sad story. The 30th of August has a tiny 2ft swell, but then the wind swings onshore and ruins it. From the 31st of August all the way through to the 8th of September, it’s practically flat. We’re talking about a full week and a half of zero to 1ft junk. The only positive is that Voltri does get clean, glassy conditions at times, like on the morning of the 31st of August, but there’s no swell to ride. The offshore winds on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of September are a tease – perfect conditions, but absolutely no waves.
So, here’s the bottom line: the best (and really only) chance to get wet is Saturday morning, the 29th of August. The waves will be small, a bit weak, and the conditions are only passable, but it’s all we’ve got. Don’t expect much, and bring a log. For the rest of the run, you’re better off checking the forecasts again in a few days – it can’t stay this poor forever.
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.
