The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the first week and a half is a real struggle. We're looking at a long, dry spell with pretty much nothing to get excited about. From now until the 9th of September, it's all tiny, weak swells and lots of flat spells. The water is a balmy 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you could almost have a swim, but don't bother paddling out.
The first real glimmer of something rideable shows up on the morning of the 10th of September. Voltri will see a tiny 3ft S swell pushing in with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is clean, light offshore from the N, so it'll be glassy. But the energy is weak (63), and it's just not enough to get the heart racing. Still, if you're desperate for a paddle, it's the first window.
The 11th of September is the only true standout in this whole outlook. The morning at Voltri will see a 4ft SW swell with a period of 8 seconds, pushing in with moderate energy (186). The wind is light offshore from the NNW, keeping it clean. The afternoon glassed off with NNW light air, which is a bonus. It's not a big day, but after all that flatness, it's the best we've got. This is your one to circle.
After that, it's back to the small stuff. The 15th of September has a bit of a pulse with a 2ft SW swell, but it's nothing special, and the rest of the second week is more of the same tiny, weak waves with poor energy readings.
So, for the whole 16-day window, the call is simple: aim for the 11th of September at Voltri. It's the only day that offers a proper surfable wave with clean conditions. Everything else is a flat spell or a barely-rideable bump.
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.
