The Lowdown
Alright, pull up a chair, because the outlook for Voltri is a bit of a bummer for the next couple of weeks. This is an inconsistent point break, and we’re in for a long, flat spell. The water is sitting at 28°, which is 4° warmer than normal—very unusual for this time of year.
From Sunday, August 30th, all the way through to September 13th, it’s basically a no-go. The combined swell energy is tiny, just a few points here and there, and most days it’s zero. Swell heights are mostly under 2 ft, with short, weak periods of 4 to 6 seconds. There’s just no power. On September 1st, we get a clean 2 ft swell from the SSW with a light offshore, but it’s still too small to matter. The rest is glassy but flat, or a little choppy.
The one glimmer of hope is on Monday, September 14th. We finally see a pulse: a 4 ft swell from the south, with a 7-second period, and combined energy hitting 124. That’s moderate energy, but it’s short-period stuff. The morning has a light offshore from the NNW, making it clean. It’s the only surfable wave in the whole 16-day window, but even then, it’s described as very ordinary. It’s not a standout—it’s just a “maybe I’ll paddle out” kind of day.
So, if you’re desperate, keep an eye on that Monday morning, but don’t plan your life around it. For the rest, it’s a flat, frustrating wait. The swell direction is best from the SSW, but nobody’s home.

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.
