The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at what’s coming up for the Ligurian coast around Genoa over the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be straight with you—it’s a lean run. The whole 16-day window is dominated by tiny, weak swell with hardly any energy, and most of the time it’s just flat. We’re looking at waves below 2 ft pretty much all the way through, and the combined wave energy rarely gets above double digits, which tells you we’re in for a long period of barely-rideable conditions. The one exception is a brief lift on Monday, July 27, but even that is only just surfable.
Let’s start with the water temp, because that’s a bit of a talking point. At Voltri, the water is sitting at 84°F on Tuesday, July 21, with a massive anomaly of 9°F warmer than normal. That’s very unusual for the time of year—basically bathing water, but not exactly pumping surf.
The only real window of interest comes on Monday, July 27. On Monday morning we’ve got a small pulse from the SSE at 2 ft with a period of 9 seconds and a combined swell energy of 92. That’s still weak, but it’s the most energy we see in the whole forecast. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, keeping the surface clean, and conditions are described as “gentle offshore and clean.” By the afternoon, it drops to 1 ft from the SSW with an 8-second period and 51 energy, but the wind goes glassy—a light NNW at 3 mph, dead calm. That afternoon session could be a little fun on a longboard or a foiler if you’re desperate.
Voltri is an exposed point break that needs swell from the SSW to work properly, and the Monday morning swell is coming from the SSE—not ideal, but with the offshore wind and clean conditions, a small, crumbly wave might just appear. It’s an inconsistent spot anyway, so don’t expect much. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so you might see a handful of locals out, but with this size, it won’t be a zoo.
After that, it’s back to flatness. From Tuesday, July 28 right through to Wednesday, August 5, we’ve got nothing but zeros and tiny 0.3 ft bumps. The wind is often calm or light offshore, which would be great if there was any swell, but there isn’t. It’s a frustrating stretch.
Bottom line: there’s no standout session here. If you’re really keen, Monday, July 27 morning and afternoon is the best on offer, but it’s a long way from good. For the rest of the 16 days, leave the board at home and go for a swim—the water’s warm.
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.
