The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be real about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. It's a pretty flat and quiet run for the most part, so don't be expecting any heroics. The water's sitting at a balmy 82°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
The first bit of action, and honestly the only real window worth talking about, is around the Saturday the 29th of August. We've got a small pulse coming through early that morning. Out at Voltri, the swell is pushing 4ft from the SSW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 167. The wind is light and offshore from the N, so the surface will be clean. It's surfable, but the conditions are just ordinary – nothing to write home about. The crowd factor is a bit of a lottery here, so you might have some company. This is a beginner-friendly point break, but it is inconsistent, so don't expect a wave every minute.
The next morning, Sunday the 30th of August, has a similar story. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the SSW, with a 7-second period and energy down to 93. Again, it's clean with a light NNW offshore breeze, but the waves are just very ordinary. That's the last of the real action.
After that, things fall off a cliff. From Monday the 31st of August right through to Monday the 7th of September, we're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, or non-existent surf. You'll see a few mornings with light offshore or glassy conditions, but the swell is barely registering – we're talking 2ft or less with periods under 6 seconds and energy in the single digits. It's essentially a flat spell.
There's a tiny flicker on Sunday the 6th of September, with 3ft from the SW and a 7-second period, but again, it's just ordinary. The bottom line is there's no standout session here. The best bet is a very early, very modest session on the morning of the 29th of August if you're absolutely desperate for a paddle. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for the next puff of wind.
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.
