The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down. The outlook is a tough one. For the next couple of weeks, the surf is in a deep sleep.
There's a massive gap with no worthwhile waves. From now, right through to around the 24th of August, it's flat. You'll see tiny ripples, but the energy is puny, barely hitting double digits on the combined swell scale. It's dead.
The only thing that even gets a pulse happens around Tuesday, August 25th. A bit of SSW swell shows up, pushing about 2 yards. The energy jumps to 243, which is moderate. The catch? At Voltri (Ligurian Sea), the wind is forecast to be onshore and bumpy, with a risk of thunderstorms. The conditions will be poor, and the period is short at 6 seconds, meaning poor shape. Since Voltri is an inconsistent spot and a beginner point, this is looking more like a kite-surfing breeze than a paddle session.
Nothing solid follows after that. The water temperature is a notable 84°F, much warmer than usual for this time of year.
Plain and simple: take a break, it's a long stretch of nothing.
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.
