The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for the region. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, and poor conditions, so don’t expect much. The first real pulse of surf doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday, August 7th, so we’re looking at a gap of about ten days with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only spot on the radar is Voltri (Italy). It’s a point break that’s inconsistent and tends to be a beginner-friendly wave, but it needs a specific swell direction to really work. The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit, if you’re even wearing one.
The one and only stand-out window is the morning of Friday, August 7th. We’re looking at a clean morning with a light offshore wind from the N at 6 mph. The swell shows up at 4 ft from the S with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy comes in at a moderate 134. It’s not huge, but it’s the only real surfable wave on offer. The wind is clean, which is a major positive, so if you’re desperate, that’s your window. The swell is a bit short-period, so it won’t have the punch of a groundswell, but it’s the best we’ve got.
After that, it drops back down to tiny, messy waves or flatness through the rest of the second week. The morning of Wednesday, August 12th, has a clean offshore wind with 2 ft from the SE, but the energy is weak (28) and the period is short, so don’t expect much.
Honestly, keep your expectations on the floor. This is a long blank run, and it’s just how it goes sometimes.
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.
