The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about this one – it’s a tough stretch for the surf around here. We’re looking at Voltri, a point break that’s exposed to the SSW swell window. The water is running at 82° with a 7° anomaly, which is very unusual for this time of year, so expect water that feels much warmer than normal.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a write-off for any decent waves. We’ve got a long gap starting right now with nothing but tiny, weak, and inconsistent slop. From Thursday 27th August right through to Tuesday 8th September, the swell is barely a whisper – mostly under 2 ft, with periods a short 4 to 6 seconds, and combined energy levels are pitiful, often in the single digits (like 4 or 5). There are a few mornings with clean offshore winds from the north, but the swell just isn't there to back it up. It’s frustrating because the conditions look good, but you’d be floating around more than actually surfing. This spot is already inconsistent, and this run proves it.
The closest we get to anything rideable is a few mornings around the first weekend. Saturday 29th August and Sunday 30th August both have clean, offshore winds in the morning with a southwest swell of 3 ft to 3 ft, a short 6-second period, and combined energy in the 40s to 50s (47 and 59). It’s surfable, but very ordinary – small, weak, and better suited for a beginner on a longboard. The crowds are only sometimes a problem, so that’s a plus, but there’s no standout quality here.
Jumping way ahead, there’s a flicker of life on Thursday 10th September. The morning brings a 3 ft SSW swell (6 seconds, energy 71) but with onshore wind, so messy. The afternoon, however, sees the swell bump to 5 ft from the SSW with a 6-second period, and combined energy jumps to 277 – moderate wave energy. The wind is cross-onshore though, so it’ll be a bit choppy. This is still a far cry from good, but it’s the only pulse of energy in the whole 16-day window. Hold your horses, but don’t get excited.
Bottom line: there’s no good surf on the horizon. For an inconsistent spot like Voltri, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. Stick to the longboards and low expectations.
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.
