The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight up about what we're dealing with.
It’s a quiet one for the Voltri area, and I mean *quiet*. We’re looking at a 16-day window that starts with no real energy at all. The first hint of something rideable doesn’t pop up until August 29th, Saturday morning, so we’ve got a little patience to exercise. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the combined energy is really weak (87). The wind is cross-off from the NNE at 6 mph, keeping the surface clean, but with a 4ft SSW swell and just 6 seconds between waves, you’re not getting much push. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but it’s pretty ordinary.
After that Saturday morning, it’s a long, drawn-out stretch of nothing. We’re talking days and days of flatness or ankle-biters. From Saturday afternoon right through to Wednesday, September 10th, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for. You’ll get a few days of glassy mornings with next to no swell, like Monday 31st August and Tuesday 1st September, but the waves are so small it’s barely a ripple. The true standouts? Honestly, there aren't any. Nothing checks the boxes for a real session.
Late in the period, around Wednesday, September 10th morning, there’s a little blip. A 2ft SW swell shows up with a 7-second period and the combined energy climbs a bit to 39. It’s still weak, but it’s the most we’ve seen in a week. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s messy. It’s not the kind of day you’d drive for, but if you’re local and bored, you might find a crumbly little wave.
For this region, a blank run like this is pretty normal. The consistency is rated as "inconsistent" and it lives up to it. There's just no good surf on offer through the whole 16 days.
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.
