Table - best surf conditions forecast for Voltri over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, the next couple of weeks are a tough watch. The swell window is just not cooperating, with hardly any energy making it through. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with almost nothing to get excited about on the surf front.
The Overall Picture
Honestly, it’s a flat spell. The first few days are a total write-off with tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. There’s a long gap from July 14th right through to July 26th where the surf is just not worth paddling out for. The energy is super low, with combined swell readings barely hitting double digits or sitting at zero (0 to 8). You’re looking at ankle-snappers at best, with poor wave quality and onshore breezes messing up what little shape there is.
The Best (and Only Real) Window
The one tiny glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, July 26th, in the morning. Voltri (Italy) might just about offer something. We’ve got a weak 3ft swell rolling in from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 41 – weak stuff. The wind is offshore from the North at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The call is for "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but compared to the rest of the forecast, this is the only time the ocean shows a pulse. The wave direction is not matching the optimum SSW direction perfectly, but it’s close enough. Don’t expect any power, and it’s not going to hold up for long. For beginners, that 3ft is fine, but it’s going to be a dribbly, frustrating session.
For the rest of the period, it’s a total blank. The combined energy sits at zero for many days, and the wind is either onshore, cross-off, or just not strong enough to do anything with the non-existent swell. It’s a quiet time, so put the board away and check the forecast again in a week. Things can change, but right now, that Sunday morning is the only date on the calendar that’s even worth a mention.
July 26th morning is your best bet. It’s not a standout, it’s just the only one.
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.
