The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's going on in our neck of the woods over the next couple of weeks. I've been staring at the charts and, well, it's a bit of a rough patch ahead.
Right out of the gate, the honest truth is there's nothing to get excited about. We're looking at a long, dry stretch of flatness that lasts from now all the way into the second week of August. The first bit of anything that resembles a wave shows up on the morning of Tuesday the 6th of August, but even that's barely a ripple. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 82°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so you'll be swimming in bathwater.
Our only real option on the board is Voltri. It's a point break that's best with a solid SSW swell, but for the entire 16-day period, the wave energy is pitifully low—we're talking a combined swell energy of (2) at best, which is just a whisper. The biggest swells we see are tiny, peaking at a measly 1ft from the south on the afternoon of Saturday the 8th of August, and that's with a cross-onshore breeze. The period is short, around 4-5 seconds, so there's no power behind it.
For a beginner spot that's inconsistent and only breaks sometimes, this is a proper desert. The morning of Thursday the 14th of August offers a sliver of hope with a 1.0ft SW swell and a period of 8 seconds under a light offshore wind from the NNW, which would clean it up a bit. That's about as good as it gets, but it's still tiny. You have to look hard to find a silver lining here. If the wind picks up from the SSE as we head towards the 18th of August, this setup will be more interesting for kite surfing than for paddling.
So, for the next two weeks, the message is simple: don't bother loading the boards. Keep an eye on the charts, but this one's a washout. There are no standouts, nothing to chase.
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.
