The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Voltri over the next couple of weeks.
It's a bit of a tough stretch ahead, if I'm being honest. The overall pattern is pretty quiet, with a long gap of flat or near-flat conditions that'll test the patience of even the most dedicated crew. The water here is sitting at a very warm 80°, which is 9° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's seriously unusual, it’s like bath water.
We start off with a real dud. Wednesday the 16th and the next several days are just poor. The swell energy is non-existent. There’s a tiny pulse of 2ft S swell with a short 5-second period on Thursday morning the 17th, but that’s only got a combined energy of 25 – weak as. The real bummer is this stretch of days with no recommendations. From Sunday the 20th right through to Tuesday the 29th of September, there’s basically nothing but tiny dribbles. Wednesday morning the 23rd has a tiny 1ft SE swell with a 5-second period and some clean NNW offshore wind, but it’s barely a ripple.
The only flicker of something worthwhile comes right at the tail end of the outlook. Thursday the 1st of October is our standout, but it’s a long-range call so keep your expectations in check. The morning brings a 3ft SSW swell with a 5-second period out of the optimum direction for Voltri. The wind is a light offshore from the north, keeping the surface clean. Combined energy is a modest 57, so it’s not a powerhouse, but in this stretch of flatness, it’s the best we've got. The afternoon cleans up even more with a glassy surface and a 3ft S swell. It’s still not big, but it’s the cleanest, most surfable window in the whole 16 days. The swell direction is SSW to S, which is right in the money for this point break. Being an inconsistent spot, you’ll want to be ready to go when it fills in. Don’t expect a crowd, but as a point break, patience is key.
Before that, the only other half-decent call is Friday the 18th in the morning, with a clean 2ft S swell (period 5 seconds, energy 42) and a light NNE offshore wind. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The rest of that weekend and the following week is just blank, with just a tiny 1ft SE pulse on Wednesday the 23rd.
For the second week, it stays flat or nearly flat right up until the end of September. There's a 1ft SE swell on Tuesday the 29th, but the 4-second period makes it junky. Thursday the 1st of October is your only real target.
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.
