The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our little stretch of coast at Voltri over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a quiet period, no two ways about it.
We’ve got a solid run of nothing much happening from now until the end of the month. The water temp is sitting at a toasty 82°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and it means you can leave the thick wetsuit at home, but unfortunately, the lack of swell means you might be leaving the board at home too.
Things finally get a bit of a pulse on Saturday, August 29th. There’s a jump in energy with a swell coming in from the SSW at 7 ft, with a moderate combined energy of 653. That’s a real solid push of water. However, the period is a short 7 seconds, which is windswell, and the morning wind is a light cross-onshore from the ESE. At that size, it’s probably too much for beginners. It’s a tease, really – just a one-day bump before it fades back down. The water temp anomaly is only noted on the first day, so consider that the August 29th south swell is pushing into that unusually warm water.
After that Saturday bump, we go back into a lull. Sunday the 30th has a tiny 2 ft glassy morning, but it’s nothing to write home about. Then from Monday the 31st right through to Thursday September 3rd, it’s basically flat. A proper gap of several days with no surf to speak of.
We get a hint of life again on Tuesday, September 1st. A clean 3 ft morning from the south with a gentle offshore NNW wind at 9 mph. The combined energy is only 59 though, so it’s weak. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
And that’s about it for the run-out of this forecast. The only real standout is that Saturday, August 29th, which offers the biggest swell, but it’s let down by a short period and onshore wind. For a point break like Voltri that likes a clean SSW groundswell, this one is more of a novelty than a classic day. For the rest of the window, you’re looking at knee-to-waist high dribble, if that.
It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. But hey, it’s a point break, it can get good in a heartbeat, so keep an eye on the charts.
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.
