Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Voltri over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it’s a quiet stretch. We’ve got a long gap with next to no surf to get excited about, and the first time you’d even want to look at the water is around Saturday the 12th of July, with a tiny bit of knee-high swell showing. Even then, it’s small. The real story is that the water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°F, which is a couple and a half degrees above the long-term average – that’s pretty unusual to feel.
Through the first week, Wednesday the 8th through to Tuesday the 15th, it’s mostly flat or barely a ripple. We get some glassy mornings on Thursday the 9th and Sunday the 12th, but the swell is pathetic – under 1ft with short, weak periods around 4 to 6 seconds, and the combined energy is barely registering (mostly single-digit values, 1 to 16 in brackets). Nothing worth paddling for.
The only flicker of something half-decent shows up later on. On Monday the 21st of July, the morning brings a touch more energy: a 3ft swell from the SSW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 77 (in brackets). The wind is light cross-onshore from the SE, so it’s not clean but it’s not a total mess. Voltri is a point break, but it’s inconsistent and only really suited for beginners when it’s this small anyways. The direction is SSW, which matches the optimum swell direction of SSW, so the break should line up. The crowds can be around sometimes, but given the lack of size, it won’t be packed.
After that, the rest of the window falls away again – Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday go small and flat with onshore winds. Honestly, for this region, a blank run like this is pretty normal; the forecasts can change, but right now it’s a waiting game.

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.
