The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown in feet and miles per hour. It's a grim picture for the most part, so let's get into it.
For the next several days, the surf is practically non-existent. The water's sitting at a warm 83°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so a swim is about all you'll get.
Starting this Sunday the 23rd, you've got a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 17, so there's nothing behind it. The morning has a light offshore breeze from the NNW at 6 mph, so it's clean, but you'll be bobbing around on nothing.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are flat. Zero energy, no swell. The wind is light or glassy, but there's no wave to ride.
Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th stay quiet. Thursday morning sees a slight bump to 2ft from the SSE, energy up to 18, and a clean offshore wind, but it's still very small and weak.
Friday the 28th brings a 2ft swell from the south, but the wind turns onshore and strong, hitting 12 mph in the afternoon. It'll be choppy and messy.
Here's the only real highlight. Saturday the 29th morning. We've got a 4ft swell from the SSW, period at 7 seconds, and the combined energy finally gets into triple digits at 112 – that's moderate energy. The wind is a clean offshore from the north at 6 mph. This is the best window. The break is Voltri, a point break that's good for beginners, but it's inconsistent and can get crowded sometimes. The SSW direction is right in its wheelhouse. It's not firing, but you'll get a few waves.
Sunday the 30th morning drops to 2ft from the SW, energy down to 63, still with a clean offshore breeze. A lesser version of Saturday.
From Monday the 31st through to Sunday the 7th of September, it's back to flat or tiny, poor conditions. Long stretches with zero energy and no surf. A couple of small pulses try to show up, but the wind is wrong or the swell is too small.
So bottom line: if you want to get wet, Saturday the 29th morning at Voltri is your only real shot. The rest of the 16 days is a bust. Stay tuned, forecasts can always change.
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.
