The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get stuck in. The next couple of weeks around here are looking pretty quiet, to be honest. It’s not a total flat spell, but we’re going to have to be patient and pick our moments if we want wet hair. There’s nothing big on the cards, just a run of small, weak pulses. The main break we’re looking at is Voltri (Liguria), which is a fickle little point that only really works when everything lines up. It’s inconsistent, so when it does show a pulse, you gotta be on it.

Right now, the swell is tiny. We’re looking at waves around 1ft on Monday morning with a weak energy reading of 9. It’s clean with a light northerly offshore, but it’s just too small to get excited about. There’s a bit more push on Tuesday morning, still only 1ft, but the energy picks up to 15. The highlight of this early run is Tuesday afternoon – it’s glassy as anything with the wind completely dropping, and there are a few waist-high lines rolling through. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it might just be the most fun you’ll have all week. The water temp is sitting right about average for this time of year, so a shorty or a springsuit will be fine.

After that, Wednesday drops right off. We’re talking 0.7ft and next to no energy (2). That’s a board-dragging session if you go out.

The first real, and I mean *real*, standout of the period looks like it’s going to be Thursday the 20th. The swell bumps up a touch to 3ft early, with the energy climbing to a moderate 92. The wind will be light and cross-offshore, which should keep the point nice and clean. It’s still not big, but the combination of a bit more swell and clean conditions makes this the pick of the bunch for the first week. It’s worth a look if you can sneak out.

Friday the 21st has a similar amount of swell (3ft) and the energy jumps to 125, but the afternoon gets messy with a moderate southerly wind chopping it up. Mornings are glassy but there’s a storm risk about. It’s a bit of a lottery.

The next week, the long-range stuff, is all about promise. The middle of the week starting the 25th looks like it could have something. On Tuesday the 25th, the swell jumps to a solid 7ft in the afternoon, and the energy starts to get serious at 389. But that’s only half the story – the southerly wind is also blowing onshore, which is going to make it a washing machine. It’s a lot of water moving around but not in a good way. This might be more interesting for the kite crew than for us paddle surfers unless you’re a total charger.

Just before that, on Tuesday morning the 25th, we’ve got a glassy 3ft with a period of 6 seconds that’s a better bet for a clean, if small, session.

The long-range signal for the 26th is the most promising. The morning shows a clean 3ft from the southwest with a slightly longer period (8 seconds), and the wind is a light offshore. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and has a bit more push than the other junk we’ve seen. It’s a promising one to keep an eye on, but as with all of next week, it’s less certain.

The end of the run is pretty desperate. The 31st of August has a stormy morning with 15 mph southerly winds and poor surf. There is a chance of a clean-up on the 1st of September morning with a light northeaster, but the swell is gone. It’s a waiting game.

So, if you’re looking for a wave, your best bets are the clean, small days: Thursday the 20th morning for the best combination of size and clean conditions, and Tuesday the 26th morning as the long-range promise. Both are small, but they’ll be the cleanest waves we get.

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.
