The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.

To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and quiet. We’ve got a long gap of nothing much to get excited about. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t roll in until the 28th of August, so that’s over a week of small, poor surf or flat spells. The water is sitting at 83° at the start, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like bath water.

The only spot on the cards is Voltri, a point break that’s inconsistent and best for beginners. It’s exposed to the SSW swell, and that’s what we’ll see.

The first sign of life comes on Friday, 28th August. The morning brings a solid 10ft swell from the SW, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and it’s onshore wind. The energy is strong at 1515, but the conditions are marginal. This is big enough that beginners should sit it out, and it’s really only for experienced crew. The wind is onshore, so it’s not going to be pretty. The afternoon drops to 6ft, still onshore, and the energy drops to 409. It’s not great.

Saturday, 29th August is a better bet if you’re patient. The morning sees the swell easing to 3ft from the SSW, with a clean offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is moderate at 123. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean. That’s the best call of the whole period. The afternoon goes glassy with a light wind, same size swell, so you could get a few clean little ones.

After that, it fades away again into tiny, poor surf for the rest of the outlook into early September. There’s a tiny uptick on the 4th of September with 3ft from the SSW and a clean offshore wind, but the energy is weak at 82. It’s surfable, but nothing special.

The standout, if you’re desperate for a paddle, is the Saturday morning, 29th August at Voltri. It’s small, but the offshore wind will make it clean. Don’t expect much else.

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.
