The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a close look at what’s on offer for Voltri over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this isn’t one for the photo album.
First up, the overall picture: We’ve got a long, dry spell of tiny, weak swell. The water is sitting at a very warm 81°, which is a massive 8° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s pretty wild, but it doesn’t help the waves one bit. The combined swell energy is mostly in the single digits or low double-digits, which is very weak, and the swell heights barely kick above 2 ft for the first ten days.
For the first week, from Wednesday the 15th through to early the following week, it’s a bust. You’re looking at waves mostly around 1.0 ft or less, with periods under 8 seconds. The wind is often light and variable, with some glassy mornings on the 16th and 19th, but there’s just no energy to work with. The guidance calls it "poor surf conditions" consistently, and I’m not going to argue with that.
We do get a slight bump on Saturday the 18th with a 2 ft SSW swell, but it’s weak and the wind goes cross-on in the arvo. The morning of Sunday the 19th has a 2 ft SW swell with a clean offshore NNW breeze, but it’s still barely a ripple. The combined energy on that morning is only 24, so it’s not going to get your heart racing.
The real standout, and I mean the only one worth circling on the calendar, is Tuesday the 28th of July. We finally see a bump in size with a 4 ft SW swell. The period is 6 seconds, so it’s short-period wind swell, not a groundswell, but it’s the biggest we get. The morning of the 28th is the pick: glassy conditions with a light N wind, and the combined energy jumps to 119 (moderate). That’s surfable, and for this spot, it’s a relative peak. The break is a point, so it can handle a bit of swell, but it’s rated as "inconsistent" and "beginner" difficulty. At 4 ft, it’s fine for most skill levels. The optimum direction is SSW, and this swell is coming from SW, so it’s a close match. Just be aware that crowds are "sometimes" here, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
After that, it drops off again. The 29th and 30th of July are back to tiny, weak, and uninteresting.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a long gap of almost no surf from the start until the 28th. The 28th of July is the only real shout, with a modest 4 ft SW swell and glassy conditions. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the best on offer. The rest of the window is a write-off for a paddle. If you’re into kiting, those light onshore days might be more your thing, but for a surfboard, it’s slim pickings.
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.
