The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next sixteen days are a real struggle for surf around here. Don’t hold your breath for any kind of meaningful session. The only spot on the radar is Voltri, a point break that’s beginner-friendly but inconsistent. It’s not offering much at all, and we’ve got a massive gap of dead flat conditions right in the middle.
Right now, Sunday the 30th of August, you’re looking at a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a short 6-second period and weak energy (35). The morning is glassy, so it’s pretty, but there’s just no power. The afternoon drops even further.
Monday the 31st is a write-off – 0.7ft swell, if you can even call it that. Tuesday the 1st of September sees a slight uptick with a 2ft SSW swell and a clean offshore wind from the north, but the energy is still very weak (25) and the period is short. It’s barely rideable.
Then, from Wednesday the 2nd of September right through to the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, it’s completely flat. Zero swell. Nothing. You’re better off doing something else.
Finally, on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, we get a little blip of life. A 2ft S swell with a 6-second period and moderate energy (46) rolls in. The wind is offshore from the NNW, so it’s clean. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as optimistic as it gets. It’s not good, but it’s the best of a very bad bunch. After that, it’s back to tiny dribbles and flat spells for the rest of the week and into the next.
Given the exposed point setup, the tiny swell and short period are just not enough. The place is inconsistent, and when it does break, it’s poor. Honestly, with such weak, short-period energy and the clean but empty conditions, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. It’s a blank run, and that’s pretty normal for this area when the forecasts are this desperate.
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.
