The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Voltri over this 16-day stretch is a tough pill to swallow. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap with very little to get excited about, so patience is the name of the game.
We kick off on Friday, August 21st, but don't get your hopes up. The morning shows a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a short, weak 6-second period and a cross-onshore wind that’s making a mess of things. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. It's small, it's bumpy, and the combined energy is a paltry 22 – just nothing to work with. The afternoon gets a little bigger, but the wind swings onshore and it's just poor.
The weekend brings a slight flicker of hope, but it's barely a candle. Saturday, August 22nd, is your best bet in this entire window. Morning runs show a clean 4ft SSW swell with a bit more period at 8 seconds and a moderate offshore wind from the north. The combined energy is moderate at 186, and the water is still unusually warm. It’s not world-class, but it’s surfable. By Saturday afternoon, the wind goes glassy and the swell drops to 3ft, making for a clean but small session. Sunday, the 23rd, is back to tiny, glassy nothing.
From Monday, August 24th, right through the end of the week, the chart goes flat. The combined energy reads zero. There are waves on the charts, but they're not showing up here. We’re looking at a solid gap of several days with absolutely no surf on offer.
The next faint pulse arrives Friday, August 28th, almost a week later. The morning brings a 4ft S swell with a short 5-second period, but the wind is onshore and messy, making it poor. The afternoon tries a bit harder with 5ft SSW swell and 7 seconds, but again, the onshore wind kills it. The combined energy pushes up to a moderate 166, but it’s just not clean.
Saturday, August 29th, shows a final, brief respite. The morning is clean with a moderate offshore wind and a 3ft SW swell at 8 seconds. The energy is weak-moderate at 85. After that, it’s back to tiny, glassy dribble for the rest of the run through to September 5th.
Look, this is a lean spell. If you’re absolutely desperate, the cleanest windows are Saturday the 22nd and maybe Saturday the 29th. But for most of the time, the swell is too small, the period too short, and the wind just isn't cooperating.

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.
