The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk in feet, miles per hour, and degrees Fahrenheit.
Right off the bat, the next sixteen days are mostly a flat spell for this region. Nothing much happening until we hit the end of the first week.
The one session that really stands out is Voltri. This is a point break that doesn’t break often, so when it does, you pay attention. Mark down Friday, 21 August in the morning. We’re looking at a 6ft swell from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds, and glassy conditions (0 mph wind). The combined energy is moderate (483). That’s a clean, strong wave, a bit heavy for beginners but perfect for the intermediate to expert crowd. The afternoon will see the wind come onshore and the quality drop, so get in early.
Before that, from Wednesday 19 August to Thursday 20 August, the swell is tiny and the wind is messy. The morning of Saturday 22 August has a glassy 2ft swell, but it’s barely breaking. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The only other faint glimmer is Friday, 28 August in the morning. A 4ft SW swell with a 9-second period, and clean offshore winds from the NNW. The energy is moderate (174) but the waves are just ordinary. It’s surfable, but nothing special. After that, it’s flat from the 29th all the way through to the 3rd of September.
So, the long and short of it: if you want a wave, you’re chasing the Friday morning of 21 August at Voltri. That’s the only real stand-out window with decent height, clean conditions, and a chance at a few good rides. The rest is a long, quiet run, which is pretty normal for here. Don’t stress, just keep an eye on the forecast.

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.
