The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the next 16 days for our local stretch.
Truth is, it's a pretty flat spell for us. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about, with the first proper sign of any life not showing up until Saturday the 22nd of August. Up until then, it's a real desert out there. The water is sitting at a very warm 83°, which is a massive 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a seriously unusual anomaly, feels like a bath.
The only real standout on the whole forecast is Voltri, a point break that's normally pretty inconsistent. On the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August, we're looking at a small pulse of 4ft swell coming from the SW, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate (126). The wind will be a light offshore from the NNW, which will keep the surface clean. For a wave that's normally flat, this is the best we've got on offer. It's a beginner-friendly spot, so don't expect much power, but it's the only game in town. Just be aware it can get crowded here sometimes.
Before that, from the 12th through the 21st, it's all zeroes and blank lines. The only other tiny blip is a bit of knee-high chop on Monday the 17th of August, but with onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms, it's not worth paddling out for. The rest of the second week, from the 23rd to the 27th, looks equally poor, with nothing but tiny, short-period dribbles and no real energy to speak of.
So, mark your calendar for the 22nd. It's not pumping, but for our area, that's as good as it gets right now.

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.
