The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days at Voltri are a tough watch. Every single session in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions, so there's no standout swell to get excited about. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and barely any energy. The combined energy values are all in the single digits, most sitting between 0 and 34 (weak energy), so don't expect any push. There's a few scattered moments of clean, glassy or offshore wind, but the swell just isn't there to back it up.
The first bit of surf worth paddling out for is on Saturday morning, July 18, around Voltri. It's a point break, exposed to SSW swell, but the sets are only 2ft from the SSW with a short period of 5 seconds. The water is a balmy 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—over 7°F warmer, so that's very unusual and you'll be in boardies for sure. The wind is glassy from the ENE at 3 mph, so it'll be clean, but the wave energy is just 23 (weak). It's an inconsistent spot, and this is about as good as it gets, which isn't saying much. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, but honestly, I doubt many will be out for this.
Saturday afternoon stays poor with the same 2ft swell but a light cross-onshore wind, so it'll be a bit messy. Sunday morning, July 19, offers a touch more energy at 34 (still weak) with 2ft from the SSW and a 6-second period, and a gentle offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. It'll be clean, but the waves are tiny and weak. The rest of the week is a blur of knee-high or less, with most days seeing 0.3ft to 1.0ft. There's a few glassy windows—like Sunday afternoon with calm winds, or Monday afternoon—but the swell is basically non-existent. By Thursday, July 30, there's a hint of something: 1.0ft from the SSW with an 8-second period and 16 combined energy (still weak), but it's a risk of thunderstorms and cross-onshore wind, so it's not a winner.
The second week is a washout. From July 21 right through to the end of the month, it's all under 2ft, with periods often below 5 seconds and energy in the 1–10 range. A few clean offshore mornings pop up, but the swell is a ghost. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a paddleboard or a skimboard than a proper surf. If you're desperate, the best window is Saturday morning, July 18, with that glassy 2ft, but it's a beginner wave at best.
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.
