Table - best surf conditions forecast for Voltri over the next 16 days.
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it: Voltri (point break) is looking nearly dead for the next couple of weeks. You’ll be sitting on the beach more than in the water – there’s a big gap of flatness ahead. Water temp is 80°, which is much warmer than normal for July – over 3° above average, so it’s a real oddity.
Right now, Sunday the 12th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the SSE with a short 5-second period and weak combined energy (9). Onshore wind in the afternoon will mess it up. Monday the 13th drops to 1ft – even smaller, energy at 8. Tuesday the 14th is almost nothing: 0.3ft and energy at 1 – glassy in the morning but no rideable waves.
From Wednesday the 15th through Monday the 21st, it’s a real dry spell. Most days show zero energy, with just occasional 0.3ft and energy of 1 to 3. Wind is often offshore or glassy, which would be great if there was swell, but there isn’t. It’s a tough stretch.
The first blip comes Tuesday the 22nd. Morning shows 2ft from the S, period 6 seconds, combined energy up to 33 (moderate). Wind is glassy out of the NE – clean conditions. It’s still small and short period, so nothing special, but it’s the most surfable moment in a fortnight. Wednesday the 23rd goes flat again, and the rest of the week stays small, with only 0.7ft on Sunday the 26th and a bump to 2ft from the SSW on Monday the 27th (energy 31, period 6 seconds) but with a cross-shore wind, so not great.
Only Tuesday the 22nd morning at Voltri is worth a look. It’s small and weak, but glassy and the swell from the S is close to the optimum SSW direction – you might pick off a few soft ones. The break is inconsistent and a beginner spot, so don’t expect much. Crowds are possible. No real standout here.
This is a lean period for the area. Forecasts can turn, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
