The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: we're looking at a pretty flat spell. The next 16 days are a tough watch for anyone wanting to get wet. We've got a real dry run on our hands, with very little surf on offer, so don't get your hopes up too high.
We start off on Monday afternoon, July 13, with nothing doing. The first real chance to even get wet comes on Wednesday morning, July 15, at Voltri. It's a point break, and you’ll find glassy conditions with a light NNE wind at 3 mph, but the swell is tiny at 1 ft from the SSW. The combined energy is a measly 8, so it’s weak. The water temp is a very unusual 81°, which is 8° warmer than average for this time of year. It's a beginner-friendly wave, but there's barely anything to ride.
We get a slight bump of energy on Saturday morning, July 18. The swell stays small at 1 ft from the SSW, but the wind is a light cross-off from the NE at 3 mph, and combined energy is still just 7. It’s clean, but don't expect any power. The period is only 4 seconds – that’s short-period, gutless stuff.
Sunday morning, July 19, is the best of a bad lot. We get a gentle offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph, with a 2 ft SSW swell. The combined energy climbs to 31, which is still weak but at least the wind is clean. It’s the only morning in the first week that looks halfway tidy.
After that, from July 20 right through to July 28, it’s a long, blank run. There are days with absolute zeros for swell. We get a few glimpses of clean conditions thanks to offshore winds, for example on the mornings of July 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28, but there’s simply no wave energy to work with. The combined energy is often zero. For the most part, you'd be better off with a kite than a surfboard. It's a tough stretch for a spot like Voltri, which is known to be inconsistent. This is one of those blank periods that just happens.
Honestly, the standout – and I say that with a heavy heart – is the Sunday morning, July 19. It’s the only period where the conditions line up as even slightly surfable, with that gentle offshore wind and a tiny bit of swell. Everything else is a no-go. Keep an eye on the forecasts because it won't stay this way forever, but for now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
