Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window is a quiet one for us. The only break that pops up is Voltri, a point break, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot that’s inconsistent and exposed to the open sea. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°F with a massive anomaly of 7°F warmer than average for this time of year, so you’ll be feeling like you’re surfing in a bathtub.

We’ve got a long gap coming up. The first real chance of anything surfable is on Saturday morning, the 29th of August. There’s a small 4ft SSW swell with a weak period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a modest 121. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, which will keep it clean. It’s nothing to write home about, just surfable but very ordinary. The energy drops back to weak after that, with tiny swells and poor conditions through the rest of August and into early September.

Then we hit a dead zone. From Friday the 4th of September right through to Tuesday the 8th, there’s effectively nothing—zero swell, flat spells, and glassy mornings that are just no good for riding. You’ll be looking at a blank stretch of 4 to 5 days with no waves.

Things try to wake up a little around Thursday the 10th of September, with a 4ft SSE swell creeping in, but it’s cross-on with a combined energy of 107—still poor surf conditions. The best of the entire run, and I mean the only standout, comes on Friday the 11th of September. The morning brings a 7ft SSW swell with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 563. That’s moderate to strong energy, but the wind is onshore from the south, so it’s going to be lumpy. It’s still marginal, and this is strictly for experienced surfers—7ft at a point break with onshore wind is not beginner territory. The afternoon holds a 6ft SSW swell, period bumping to 9 seconds, and the energy is still solid at 541, but the wind stays onshore. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the only window where the ocean actually has some punch.

After that, Saturday the 12th drops back to small 2ft SW swell with clean offshore NNW wind, but it’s too weak to get excited about.

Bottom line: If you’re a kiter, the onshore wind days might be more interesting than the paddle game. For surfers, the 11th of September is your best bet—promising but not a sure thing this far out. Stay patient.

Rusty.
