The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's on the table.
Right, I've got to be straight with you – it's a flat spell for Voltri. This is a long stretch of nothing. From now through the entire 16-day window, there is not a single day with surf worth paddling out for. We're looking at a solid two-week-plus gap where you can leave the boards in the shed.
The first real chance of anything comes on Thursday the 17th of September, but even then it's tiny. You're looking at a weak 2ft to 2ft south swell with a short, weak period of 5-6 seconds. The energy is barely registering, with a combined swell energy of just 13 to 38. It's small and messy. Winds on that day are a problem too – cross-shore and cross-onshore with thunderstorms threatening, so the surface will be chopped up. It's not surfable.
After that little blip, it drops straight back to zero. From the 18th right through to the 28th of September, it's a complete desert. There is no swell, just calm or offshore winds over a flat ocean. It’s pretty unusual for this area to see such a blank run, but that's what we've got.
Honestly, if you're desperate for a wave on the 17th, you could take a longboard out to Voltri for a knee-high bump, but the quality will be poor. The water temperature is 81°, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you'll be warm while you're sitting there on a flat day.
Don't bother getting your hopes up for the second week. It's all zeros. This is a time to clean the wax off your boards and wait for the next proper swell. Keep an eye on the forecast, because it won't stay this way forever.

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.
