The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut through it.
We're looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Voltri. This spot is a point break that likes a swell from the SSW, but honestly, for the first nine days of this forecast, there's barely a whisper of surf. The wave energy is basically zero, with flat spells dominating right through to the morning of Monday the 18th of August.
There's a solid gap of nothing to recommend. Even when the odd tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft ripple shows up from the SSW, the period is short and the energy is pathetic, often below 10 (1 to 2). You’d be wrestling a sea breeze more than anything. The water temperature, at 83°, is a whopping 7° warmer than normal for this time of year—very unusual, but you're not even getting wet enough to notice.
The one true standout, and really the only window worth paddling out for, hits on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. We finally see a pulse of SSW swell mixing in, pushing the wave height to 6ft. The energy jumps to moderate (348), which is a massive leap from the nada we've seen. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't be the cleanest lines, but with a glassy morning and a light NNW offshore breeze, it'll be clean. This is more suited for experienced surfers at that size. The afternoon looks blown out with onshores, so make the most of that early session.
After that little spike, it fades right back to flat and tiny through the rest of the run. A few glassy mornings on the 19th and 20th might look tempting, but with wave heights dropping to 0.3ft, you’ll just be floating.
Bottom line: Clear your calendar for the morning of Tuesday, 18th of August. That’s your wave. The rest is a long, flat wait.
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.
