The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for surf around here. The only spot in the frame is Voltri, and honestly, it’s a quiet one. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing, followed by a brief flicker of life that’s more about potential than perfection.
The first few days are a total write-off. From Friday the 7th right through to the morning of Monday the 18th, there’s barely a ripple. The swell is tiny, mostly under 1 foot, and the combined wave energy is almost non-existent, sitting between 0 and 24 for most of that period. You’ll see some clean, glassy mornings and light offshore winds, but without any real swell to push through, it’s a flat spell. This is a solid 11-day gap where you’re better off doing something else.
Now, things change a bit on the morning of Monday the 18th. Voltri (point) finally gets a pulse of energy. We’re looking at a 4ft SSW swell, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 217, which is a moderate, solid push of water. The wind is light and cross-shore out of the ESE, so it’s not going to be perfect, but it’s surfable. This is a beach break setup, and with that period being right on the cusp, it’s not going to be a classic groundswell, but it’s the best we’ve got. The difficulty is beginner-friendly, so if you’re keen to get wet and don’t mind a little chop, this is your window. The swell direction from the SSW is a good match for what Voltri wants to see.
After that, it drops off again. The afternoon of the 18th is smaller and choppier, and then we’re back to tiny, weak swells for the rest of the week. The morning of Saturday the 22nd sees a clean offshore wind, but with only 0.3ft on offer, there’s nothing to ride.
So, the only standout session is Monday morning, 18th August. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only time the ocean gives us enough to work with. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report. Crowds at Voltri can sometimes be an issue, so expect a few other punters looking for the same small window.
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.
