The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Voltri. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. We’re staring down a long, dry spell. The first decent bit of surf doesn’t show up until Thursday the 17th of September, so we’ve got a few days of flat, glassy, or clean but tiny conditions to get through before that. Even then, it’s not exactly game on.

The standout, and really the only window worth paddling out for, is Thursday afternoon the 17th. The morning’s a write-off with a cross-onshore breeze messing up a 3ft S swell. But the afternoon cleans right up. It goes glassy, and that same 3ft swell from the SSW rolls in with a period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak at 90. It’s not going to be powerful, and for a beginner-friendly point break like Voltri, 3ft is perfect. The wind will be dead calm, so the surface should be smooth. The water temperature is sitting at 80°, which is 9° warmer than normal – that’s very unusual, so you’ll be in for a warm one.

Friday the 18th drops right back off. Morning swell is only 2ft from the south with a short 5-second period and weak energy (33), and it’s glassy but just not enough push. Saturday, Sunday, and most of the following week are essentially flat or offering nothing but tiny, weak dribbles. There’s a pulse of very long period swell on the 26th of September – 0.7ft to 1ft from the SSE with an 8-second period – but that’s still tiny. The combined energy is only 13 at best. It’s promising to see a longer period, but there’s just no size to back it up.

So, the bottom line: if you’re desperate for a splash, that 90-minute glassy window on Thursday the 17th is your only real chance at a soft, small wave. Otherwise, it’s a two-week stretch of very quiet water. The setup here is a point break that’s inconsistent, so a run like this isn't unusual for the area.

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.
