The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Honestly, looking at this whole 16-day stretch for Voltri, I’ve gotta level with you—it’s a tough one. We’ve got a classic summertime flat spell on our hands. The swell window is pretty much shut for the foreseeable future, with most days barely registering a pulse of energy. If you’re hanging out for a proper session, you might be waiting a while. The first bit of anything that even resembles a wave shows up on Saturday the 29th, but even that is pretty marginal. Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing—days of flat, clean conditions, but no surf to speak of.
Saturday morning is the most interesting it gets, with a small kick of SSW swell peaking at around 3ft. The energy is still pretty weak though—we’re only talking about 66 in the combined energy department, which is modest at best. The wind is offshore and clean, which is a big tick, and it’s a point break, so it might have a little shape to it. But it’s inconsistent and very much a beginner-level wave—not exactly a day to call in sick for. It’s also worth noting the water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a bit of a wildcard for the region. After that little bump, it fades back down quickly.
The following Tuesday, the 1st of September, might offer a similar small window—again, around 2ft of SSW windswell with a 6-second period. Clean morning conditions, but it’s still short-period and weak, like the ocean’s just going through the motions. After that, it’s flat city again. The second week is essentially a write-off; we’re talking about tiny, junk waves or nothing at all, even with the offshore breezes. The only saving grace is that it won’t be stormy or blown out, so if you absolutely need to get wet, it’ll be a paddle, not a surf.
Given the weak, short-period swell and the onshore afternoon breezes, if we do see any bits of size, it might look more tempting for the kite crew than anyone on a paddleboard. For now, keep the boards in the car and wait for a better run. The forecasts can always change, but this looks like a long, dry spell.
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.
