The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one for the whole 16-day window. I've scanned the charts for the region and honestly, we're looking at a pretty flat spell with very little on offer.
The only spot that even gets a mention is Voltri, a point break that's rated for beginners. But it's described as "inconsistent" and "rarely breaks," and that's exactly what we're seeing. The water temperature is a very unusual 83°, which is 8° warmer than normal for this time of year – a real anomaly.
We start with a tiny bit of hope on Sunday, July 19th, with a small 2ft S swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the wind is onshore in the afternoon. The combined energy is weak at just 35. It's a no-go.
Monday the 20th is cleaner, with a light offshore wind from the NNW in the morning, but the swell is even smaller at 2ft from the SSW. By the afternoon, it goes glassy, but the swell drops to 1ft. It's still poor.
Then we hit a massive gap. From Tuesday, July 21st, all the way through to Monday, July 28th, there are days with zero swell. Nothing. Nada. The combined energy reads 0. We get offshore winds and glassy conditions, but there's simply no wave to ride. It's a long, dry stretch.
Things try to perk up on Wednesday, July 29th. We get a 1ft SW swell with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 42 – the highest in the whole run. The wind is a gentle offshore from the N in the morning. The data calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." For this forecast, that's the best we've got. It's not a standout, but it's the only window where you might get a few knee-high grovelers on a point break if you're a beginner looking for a practice paddle. The crowd profile says "sometimes," so you might have company.
After that, it's back to tiny, short-period dribble for the rest of the period into the first week of August. Honestly, for the next 16 days, Voltri is a total write-off for any decent surf. This is a blank run that's pretty normal for an area that's this inconsistent.
Stay patient, the forecasts can change.
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.
