The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’re looking at a real flat spell, so don’t be expecting to get the board wet anytime soon.
The first day with any kind of wave is on Wednesday the 22nd of July, but honestly, it’s barely a whisper. We’re talking a tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft swell from the SW and S, with a short period of 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy is bottom of the barrel, reading just 1 (1) to 5 (5). This is not surfable, it’s just ripple. The wind is light and offshore at times, which is a shame because the conditions are clean but there’s nothing to ride.
The whole stretch from Thursday the 23rd right through to Saturday the 2nd of August is a total write-off. The swell disappears completely on many days, and when it does show a number, it’s a pathetic 0.3ft to 2ft with weak energy readings (maxing out at 35 (35) on the 27th). The water is ridiculously warm, sitting at 84° – that’s 9° warmer than usual, which is extremely unusual for this time of year. But honestly, it’s more of a swimming pool than a surf zone.
The only break we have to talk about is Voltri (Italy). It’s a beginner point break that is inconsistent and rarely breaks. Given the total lack of swell, that’s fitting. The crowds are listed as “sometimes”, but there won’t be anyone out for this. There’s simply no standout, no best on offer. The whole 16-day forecast is a flat, empty gap. If you’re a kite surfer, you might find some fun with the light afternoon breezes, but for paddle surfing, there’s nothing doing. Keep an eye on the charts, it tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
