Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Voltri.

Honestly, mate, we’re looking at a pretty flat and quiet run over the next 16 days. It’s not a total washout—there’s a tiny pulse of swell early on—but nothing that’s gonna get the heart racing. If you’re desperate for a paddle, there’s a couple of windows, but this is more of a "sit on the beach and watch the horizon" kind of forecast.

For the first few days, we get a small taste of something. On Wednesday the 9th, there’s a weak SSW swell around 2ft, but it’s only 4 seconds period and the wind is a cross-onshore SSE breeze. It’s small and messy—combined energy is only 11 (weak). Not worth getting wet for. Thursday the 10th sees a bit of a drop, with the morning offering a 1ft SSW swell, but a clean offshore N wind at 15 km/h keeps things tidy. The period is still short at 5 seconds, so don’t expect any power. The energy is still weak (13). By Thursday afternoon, it’s fading to 0.3ft.

Friday the 11th morning stays clean with a light offshore NNW wind, but the swell is only 0.3ft from the SW. It’s basically a lake. The weekend is a write-off, with Saturday the 12th offering a tiny 2ft SSW swell (period 7 seconds) under a clean offshore N wind—energy is a weak 35. That’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still small. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th go flat, with zeros across the board.

From Tuesday the 15th through to the 24th, we’re looking at a big gap of nearly a week and a half with virtually nothing. A few tiny puffs of 0.3ft to 1ft appear, like on the 17th and 21st, but the period is short (3-5 seconds) and the energy is barely registering (1-5). The only real positive is the occasional clean offshore wind, but with no swell, it’s a non-story.

So, what’s the standout? There isn’t one. If I had to pick the best moment, it’s Saturday the 12th morning—that 2ft SSW swell with a light offshore N wind at 10 km/h. The break is clean, but it’s a point break, and with that short period, it’s not going to be doing much. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. Voltri (Italy) is a beginner spot, inconsistent, and sometimes crowded. When it’s this small, it’s not even worth fighting for a wave. This is a long blank run, and it’s normal for the area to go quiet like this. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it won’t stay poor forever.
