The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a decent paddle at Voltri. This is a classic case of a run of flat, weak days where you’re better off keeping the board in the van. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing at the start, with the only real pulses of swell arriving around the 17th and again on the 22nd, but even those are far from perfect. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a bit of a wild card in itself.
Looking at the first few days, it’s a write-off. From Friday the 7th through to the 16th, we're looking at tiny, short-period slop at best. The energy is just not there. The combined swell energy is in the weak range, only hitting single digits mostly. There’s some glassy mornings, but with nothing underneath, it's just a flat lake. The first couple of days have some cross-onshore breeze that will chop up even the smallest bump. There is a long gap here with no real surf on offer, about a week of nothing that’s worth your time. It’s about as bad as it gets for consistency.
Now, the first glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 17th of August. The morning shows a new SSW swell, a modest 1ft at 5 seconds, but the wind swings offshore from the NNW. It’s clean and rideable, but still weak. The energy is only moderate at 6, but it’s something. The afternoon is where it gets interesting for a short while. The swell bumps up slightly to 1ft from the SSW with a period of 5 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. It’s not going to be world-class, but it will be the cleanest, most rideable waves you’ll find in this whole stretch. This is a beginner-friendly size, so it won’t be too intimidating.
The 18th is a step back down, with that energy fading fast back into the weak range. The rest of the week just peters out. The following Saturday, the 22nd, sees the most significant swell of the period. We’re looking at a 2ft SSW swell with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 37. That’s the biggest push of energy we see all window. The morning has a light offshore wind making it clean. The wave height might be pushing it slightly for total beginners, but it's still manageable. However, by the afternoon, the wind swings around to the southeast at 9 mph, putting a cross-onshore chop on it and making it less appealing.
So, here’s the deal. There’s no standout, epic day. The best you’ll get is the afternoon of the 17th, and maybe a look at the morning of the 22nd if you can handle a little more size. This break is fickle and inconsistent, which isn't a surprise. When it's this small, it tends to stay poor for long periods, but forecasts can change. I’d keep an eye on that 22nd, but don’t get your hopes up too high. It could be a fun, clean little session if you time it right before the sea breeze kicks in. If the wind picks up more, this might be one for the kites, not the surfboards.
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.
