The Lowdown
Alright, let’s not beat around the bush. Looking at the next 16 days for Voltri, it’s a total flat spell. There is nothing on the horizon that gets my heart rate up. No standout sessions, no sneaky swell, just a lot of ocean that’s doing absolutely nothing. It’s a bummer, but it happens here. The forecast can change, so don’t lose all hope, but as it stands right now, I’d plan on doing something else.
The first couple of days, the 9th and 10th, show a tiny pulse of weak SSW swell, but it’s paired with iffy weather and short-period energy. We’re looking at waves around 2 to 3 ft at best, with periods of about 5 seconds. The water is a very warm 82°, which is far warmer than average for this time of year, but that won’t help you catch a wave that has no power.
The winds do turn offshore and clean things up on the 10th and 11th, but by then the swell is gone. It's just a glassy, empty ocean. From the 12th right through the 21st, it’s essentially flat. There are a couple of days with tiny 0.3 to 0.5 ft bumps, but nothing is even close to rideable. That’s a solid week and a half of nothing. The most generous thing I can say is the conditions are clean.
Near the 22nd, there’s a small shift in the wind to the south, and the swell meter picks up a little SSE energy, but it’s still weak and onshore. The waves, if you can call them that, would be poor and short-period. It's not going to be worth your time. The rest of the window just fades out flat.
So, there it is. No gems, no hope spots, just a lot of flat water. It’s a waiting game now. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, the surf is a no-go.

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.
