The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Voltri. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a lean stretch. We've got a long 16-day window, and for the first ten days or so, it's pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, the energy is pathetic, and we're looking at a lot of flat spells. There's a glimmer of hope right at the tail end, but you're gonna need patience.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn't come until Monday the 27th of July. Up until then, from Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 26th, we're staring at a whole lot of nothing. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits, sitting at a measly 2 to 34 (moderate energy at best, usually weak). The water temperature is around 82°F, which is a whopping 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, like swimming in a lukewarm bath.
So, let's jump to the best of what's on offer. That Monday morning, the 27th of July, we finally see a pulse. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the SE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 64 (moderate), and we've got a light offshore wind from the N. It's clean, but the conditions are still described as "surfable waves but very ordinary". It's a point break, so it can handle a bit of swell, but it's inconsistent, so don't expect a conveyor belt. For a beginner, this is about as small as it gets, so it's a good time to learn.
Then Tuesday the 28th of July morning is your best bet. We've got a 3ft swell from the SSW, period of 7 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is up to 73 (moderate). It's clean, it's small, and it's consistent enough for a point break. The wind is light and offshore, so the faces will be clean. The crowds are "sometimes" here, so you might get a few out, but it's nothing crazy. This is the standout slot for the whole outlook.
After that, it fades back to tiny, weak dribble for the rest of the window. So, if you're a beginner, that Tuesday morning is your window. For anyone else, it's a tough call. The waves are small, the period is short, and it’s just not packing any punch. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on most days, to be honest.
Stay patient, check the forecast again closer to the 28th, and hope that pulse holds. It's a quiet spell for Voltri.
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.
