The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a pretty quiet run ahead for Voltri, so let’s not waste any time and get straight into it.
Right now, the surf is looking poor and it’s going to stay that way for a long stretch. We’re looking at a gap of nearly a week with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, the 22nd of August. Even then, it’s ordinary, but it’s the best we’ve got.
The standout morning is Saturday, the 22nd. We’ve got 4ft SSW swell rolling in with a 7-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. That’s going to keep things clean and lined up. The combined energy is moderate (156), so there’s a bit of push there. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy. Saturday afternoon glass off with 3ft and zero wind would be worth a sneaky session too, but it’s smaller.
After that, Sunday the 23rd morning drops off fast to 1ft, and the week after that is mostly flat with tiny, inconsistent pulses. Friday the 28th of August looks like a brief spike of 6ft SSW swell, but the wind is onshore and there’s a risk of thunderstorms, so don’t get your hopes up. The 3ft on the 3rd of September glassy morning might be the last little window for a while.
Overall, if you’re keen, make the most of Saturday the 22nd. After that, it’s a long wait for anything decent.
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.
