The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the surf outlook for Voltri. We’ve got a long, quiet 16-day window ahead, and honestly, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about. The first week is mostly a write-off, with a few tiny windows of barely surfable waves. The real standout, if you can call it that, comes in the second week, but it’s far from perfect.
The water is pumping at a toasty 84°, which is a solid 9° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s seriously unusual – you’ll be sweating in just boardshorts, wetsuit not needed.
For the first stretch, from Tuesday the 21st through to Saturday the 25th, it’s dead flat. Almost no swell at all, mainly with poor surf conditions. You’ll see a few tiny 0.7ft bumps from the SSW, but with a period of just 4 seconds, it’s weak and gutless. The combined energy is a measly 2 (2). The wind is offshore most mornings, but with no swell, who cares? Afternoons go glassy, but there’s nothing to ride.
Sunday the 26th is the first day we see a pulse. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the SE with a 6-second period, giving a combined energy of 57 (57). It’s surfable but very ordinary. The wind is offshore from the NNW, which is clean, but the swell is small and short-period. The afternoon cleans up a bit – 2ft from the SW with an 8-second period, pushing the energy to 123 (123). That’s a moderate burst of energy, and with the wind going light offshore from the N, it’s the best of a bad bunch. It’s a point break, and the swell direction is SSW, which is the optimum. It’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a set every five minutes, and it’s a beginner spot, so it’s safe for everyone. But honestly, it’s not a standout for the region.
Monday the 27th morning is similar – 2ft from the SSW, 7-second period, energy at 44 (44), with a clean offshore wind. It’s small, but again, the best you’ll get. The afternoon goes cross-onshore and drops off.
After that, from Tuesday the 28th right through to Wednesday the 6th of August, the forecast is a long, flat spell. A few tiny 0.7ft bumps here and there, but nothing that’s worth paddling out for. The wind is often offshore or glassy, but the swell is completely absent. The combined energy values are all single digits or zero. It’s a big gap with no real surf on offer.
The one day that stands out is Sunday the 26th of July. The afternoon session, in particular, is your best bet. While the morning has a touch more size, the afternoon delivers a cleaner, more organised 2ft swell from the SW with an 8-second period and a moderate combined energy of 123 (123). With the wind turning light offshore from the N, the conditions will be the cleanest of the entire forecast. It’s a point break, so the period is fine, and the crowd is only *sometimes* an issue. It’s the only moment where the stars align, even if it’s just for a small, fun session.
For the rest of the run, you’re better off checking the forecasts again in a few days. It’s a quiet spell 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.
