The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Voltri.
Honestly, I’m gonna level with you – this is a tough one. For the first ten days or so, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are just flat-out poor. It’s going to be a real quiet stretch.
We kick off on Sunday, the 26th of July, with a risk of thunderstorms and glassy conditions, but the swell is a measly 2ft from the SE with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is only 20, so there’s just no power. It’s a no-go.
Monday the 27th offers a little glimmer – the morning shows a clean 3ft from the SSW with a 6 second period, and it’s glassy. The energy bumps up to 48, but it’s still just surfable waves in very ordinary conditions. Not worth getting too excited about.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Tuesday the 28th right through to Friday the 7th of August, the swell is almost non-existent, with heights barely reaching 0.7ft or 1ft. The energy is in the single digits, and the conditions are either poor or flat. It’s a real blank run.
There is a tiny flicker of hope on the 7th of August. The Friday morning brings a 2ft SW swell with a 5 second period, and we have a gentle offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is just 17, so it’s still pretty weak, but it’s clean. The Saturday morning of the 8th of August is similar, with a 2ft SSW swell, a 6 second period, and a clean offshore wind. The energy is 21.
Finally, on Monday the 10th of August, we see something a bit more interesting. The morning shows a 3ft SW swell with an 8 second period, and the energy jumps to 105 – that’s moderate wave energy. The wind is a clean offshore from the NNW. It’s still classed as very ordinary, but it’s the best we’ve seen in the entire forecast. That’s the one to watch, but it’s a long way off.
So, the standout here is that Monday the 10th of August, but it’s a slim pickin’. The spot is Voltri, a point break that’s inconsistent and best for beginners. It’s exposed to the SSW swell, which is what we’re seeing. The water temperature is about average for the time of year. Crowds are possible, but with this lack of swell, I doubt anyone will be out.
To be honest, for a few days there, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if that’s your thing.
Stay safe, and keep your eyes on the horizon. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
