The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Voltri stretch. Well, I’ll be honest with you, folks. It’s a tough read. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell ahead, so don't get your hopes up too high.
For the next two weeks, this region is basically flat. We’ve got a run of days with nothing but tiny ripples or no surf at all. From the start on Sunday the 30th of August right through to the morning of Monday the 14th of September, we’re stuck with wave energy that’s barely registering. The combined energy readings are in the weak zone for most of it, with long stretches of zeros. The wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board. It’s the kind of period where you’re better off doing something else.
There are a few mornings with a clean offshore breeze – like Tuesday the 1st of September morning with a 2ft SSW swell and an offshore wind, but the energy is just not there. Then again on Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd, the wind is clean, but the surf is zero. It’s frustrating because the conditions are sometimes good, but there's nothing to ride.
The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one worth paddling out for in this entire 16-day window, is Monday the 14th of September. The morning is looking like the best on offer. You’ll have a 3ft swell coming from the SW, with a period bumping up to 9 seconds. That gives it a bit of shape. The combined energy finally ticks up, so there’s some push behind it. The wind is a light offshore from the N, keeping the surface clean. This is a point break (Voltri), so with that longer period, it should line up nicely. The afternoon cleans up even more with glassy conditions, though the swell drops back to 2ft. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and crowds are *sometimes* a thing here, so you might have some company. Water temp is 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s unusual, but welcome.
So, there it is. A whole lot of nothing, then one promising Monday morning. It’s a waiting game.

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.
