Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at this stretch. To be straight with you, this is a lean spell. The whole 16-day window is thin, with only tiny waves showing up now and then, and nothing that really gets the heart pumping. There’s a real gap in decent surf for the first several days, and honestly, most of the period is a struggle.

We start off Tuesday the 14th through Wednesday the 15th with nothing rideable – flat, glassy mornings but no swell to speak of. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 81°, that's over 7° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a proper anomaly. Feels like a bath.

The first faint pulse shows up Thursday morning the 16th at Voltri. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the N, so it'll be clean, but the energy is feeble (17). The break itself is a point break, inconsistent, and only really for beginners. It's exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is SSW, so it's lining up okay, but with that little height and short period, it's barely breaking. Expect some knee-high dribblers. Crowds are possible here.

Friday the 17th drops right back to nearly nothing, and Saturday the 18th stays poor with a 1ft to 2ft mix. Sunday the 19th gives a glimmer – morning shows some offshore wind from the NNW and a 1ft SW swell. Period picks up to 6 seconds, and the combined energy nudges to 17 and then 18 in the afternoon with glassy conditions. It’s still tiny, but that afternoon session might offer a few clean, weak little waves if you're desperate.

Then we hit another dry run. From Monday the 20th right through to Tuesday the 28th, it’s mostly flat or just 0.3ft to 0.7ft dribble. Lots of offshore winds, clean conditions, but no water moving. A few days like Wednesday the 23rd have glassy calm afternoons but zero swell. You’d be better off swimming.

The very end of the period, on Wednesday the 29th, brings the best chance. Morning sees a 1ft SSW groundswell with an 8-second period. Combined energy finally climbs to 12, and it's clean with a light offshore NNW wind. Afternoon cleans up further to glassy conditions with a 1ft SSW swell and energy of 11. It’s still small, but for this area, that's the standout window. The direction matches the break’s optimum, so expect some tiny, clean lines at Voltri, best for the longboard or a foamie. Still inconsistent though, so patience is key.

Overall, don’t get your hopes up. The setup looks more interesting for a paddleboard or a swim than a surf for most of this run. If you’re keen, aim for the late afternoon of Sunday the 19th or the morning of Wednesday the 29th.

Rusty.
