The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days around Voltri are a real struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing, then a brief flicker of something that’s barely worth paddling out for. Let’s run through it.

The water is roasting, sitting at 82°F, which is a huge 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a warm bath out there.

We start off with a proper dead spell. From the 3rd of September right through until the morning of the 9th, it’s flat or nearly flat. Tiny little bumps of 0.3ft to 0.7ft with no energy to speak of (combined energy 1-3). The wind is mostly off or glassy, which is a tease, but there’s no swell. A few days there’s nothing at all.

Then on the 9th of September, things wake up a little. The morning shows a pulse of 3ft SW swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 127 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is cross-shore from the ESE, so it’s messy. Not great, but it’s something. The afternoon gets a bit better: 3ft SW swell, still 8 seconds, energy up to 147, and the wind goes glassy. That’s the only real window of surfable waves, but even then, the conditions are described as ordinary. For a beginner-friendly point break like Voltri, a 3ft swell is fine, but it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a lot of waves. The swell direction is SSW, which lines up with the optimum direction for this spot.

After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From the 10th through the 18th, it’s all flat with zero swell and zero energy, just dry offshore winds and glassy conditions. The 17th and 18th throw up a few tiny 0.7ft to 1ft bumps, but nothing worth getting wet for.

So, the only standout here is the afternoon of the 9th of September. It’s a brief window of clean, glassy conditions with a 3ft SW swell. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the region offers anything. Expect crowds to be possible, as it’s a spot that can get busy when it’s working. If you’re a beginner, the size is fine, but the inconsistency means you’ll be waiting around.

Other than that, it’s a flat run. For a spot like this, a blank period is not unusual. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
