The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the outlook for your local spot.
Let’s be straight with you. For the next week and a half, it’s pretty darn flat around here. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren’t going to get the heart pumping. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to Friday the 7th of August, the swell is a sad story. We’re talking waves under 2 feet, mostly from the south or southwest, with periods so short (4 to 7 seconds) they’ve got no push. The combined energy is in the single digits most of the time, barely a whisper. It’s a real flat spell, and honestly, your best bet is to take the board off the roof and just enjoy the beach.
There are a few mornings that look clean, like Tuesday the 28th with a light offshore NNW wind at 6 mph, and Thursday the 30th with a glassy north breeze, but there’s just no water moving. It’s not surfable.
Finally, we get a little pulse of life on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning shows a bit of a bump, with a 4 ft SSW swell, period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy finally climbs to a moderate (105). The wind is glassy from the ENE at 3 mph, so conditions will be clean. It’s still not a standout, just “surfable but very ordinary.” Sunday the 9th is similar, with a 4 ft south swell but a slightly longer period of 6 seconds and energy at (137), again glassy in the morning. Then Tuesday the 11th of August has another 4 ft SSW swell with a 7-second period and energy at (115), also glassy. These are the only real chances to get wet, but the quality is low. The swell direction from the SSW is on the nose for Voltri, which is a point break that prefers a SSW direction, so that’s a plus. But the short period means the waves will be a bit soft and crumbly.
If you’re a beginner, those 4 ft days are right on the limit, but with the short period, they’ll be forgiving. For anyone else, it’s a session to stretch the arms, not to score.
In summary, the best of a very quiet period is the Saturday 8th, Sunday 9th, and Tuesday 11th of August mornings. They’re your only real options. Get on it early, because the afternoons get blown out by a cross-onshore SE wind.
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.
