The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got cookin' for Voltri.
First up, the honest truth: the start of this 16-day window is flat. No two ways about it. We’re looking at a dry spell from the very beginning, with pretty much nothing on the cards for the first several days. The swell energy is a flat zero on Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th, just tiny little 0.3ft slop with no power. It's a tough watch. This quiet period runs deep into the first week, with only the weakest pulses of energy showing up.
The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Tuesday the 18th. We get a tiny 2ft swell from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (41), and the guidance tells us it’s only a 1 out of 10. It’s rideable, but the conditions are "very ordinary". Still, it’s the best we’ve seen. The morning offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph will keep the surface clean, even if the waves are small and weak. After that, we slip back into a lull for a few more days, with energy readings barely hitting double digits.
The standout of the entire outlook – and the one worth circling on your calendar – is the afternoon of Tuesday the 25th. While it's a ways off, we get a pulse of swell from the southeast hitting 4ft. The period is short at 5 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 93, which is the highest we see in the whole window. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NW at 9 mph, keeping it clean. Again, the call is "surfable but ordinary", but relative to everything else, this is the one window where the energy is up and the winds are behaving.
Looking further down the line, Thursday the 27th morning shows a 3ft SSW swell with a 6-second period. Combined energy there is moderate (108), which finally breaks into triple digits. Winds are light offshore from the north at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. Friday the 28th morning brings a similar setup: a 4ft SSW swell, energy at 90, and a moderate offshore breeze at 12 mph. These are the next best options, but still fall into the "ordinary" category.
In short, don't get your hopes up high, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, the afternoon of the 25th is your best shot. Give it a look.
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.
