The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be blunt: the next couple of weeks are a write-off for anything worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch. The first recommendation doesn't come up until Thursday, August 21st, and even then, it’s grim. For a spot like Voltri, that’s about par for the course in this kind of pattern.
The first glimmer is on the afternoon of Thursday, August 21st. Voltri is a point break that needs a good SSW swell to work, and we’re just not getting it. You’ll have a weak pulse of swell from the SSW at 3ft with a short period of 6 seconds, giving us a combined swell energy of just 53. It’s glassy though, so if you’re desperate for a knee-high wobbler on a log, you could probably find something. But it’s ordinary.
Saturday, August 22nd, sees a morning window with a NNW offshore breeze at 9 mph and a little 2ft S swell, period 5 seconds. Energy is weak at 40. It’ll look clean, but there’s just no push.
The best of a bad bunch, and I use that term loosely, is on Monday, August 24th, and Tuesday, August 25th. Monday morning we get an offshore wind from the N at 6 mph with 3ft SW swell, period 5 seconds and energy of 60. It’s small and weak. Tuesday morning is the only time we see a moderate energy level, 4ft SSW swell at 7 seconds pushing the combined energy to 108. With a light offshore from the N at 3 mph, it will be clean. It’s still a tiny wave. This spot is inconsistent anyway, and these are not the conditions that get it going.
The water is currently a very unusual 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. For the rest of the window, it’s pretty much nothing, with period onshore slop or glassy flat spells. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
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.
