The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch, so don’t get your hopes up too high. The first real chance of anything resembling a surfable wave doesn’t show up until Friday, July 31st, and even then, it’s not going to blow your mind. We’re looking at a solid 12-day gap with nothing really worth paddling out for from now until then. Just small, weak, and disappointing.
The first bit of life comes on Friday, July 31st in the morning. Voltri will see a small swell start to push in, with waves around 3ft coming from the S. The energy is still pretty weak (62), and the period is short at 5 seconds, so it’s not going to have much punch. The wind is light and glassy though, so the surface will be clean. It’s a beginner-friendly point break, but it’s inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting around. The best of the whole outlook is probably that Friday afternoon, where the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, with a slightly better period of 7 seconds and the energy climbing to a moderate 125. It’s not a standout in the classic sense, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The problem is the wind swings cross-onshore, which will mess up the face a bit. Still, if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
After that, Saturday, August 1st drops back down to 2ft from the S with offshore wind, so it’ll be clean but tiny. The rest of the run is just more of the same—small, weak, and best for a longboard or a paddle.
Honestly, this is a flat spell. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon on the 31st with that cross-onshore wind might be more interesting than a paddle. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.

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.
