The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. The outlook for Voltri is a tough one to swallow. We're looking at a real flat spell for the most part, with only a few very small windows of ridable, but nothing to get excited about.
The first half of the week is a write-off. Monday the 17th kicks off with tiny 1ft swell from the SSW and a nasty cross-on wind, making it a total mess. The wave energy is a measly 6 – that's nothing. The water is a balmy 84° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
We get a slight glimmer on Tuesday the 18th morning. The wind swings offshore from the NNW, cleaning things up. But the swell is still a pathetic 1ft from the SW. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it's weak and windswell. The energy is only 33. It's glassy in the afternoon, but still on the same tiny bump. You’d be lucky to find a rideable wave.
The rest of the week just gets worse. Wednesday and Thursday see the swell drop to 0.3ft. By Friday the 21st, we get a bit of height, 4ft from the SSW, but it's onshore wind and risk of thunderstorms. The energy climbs to 118 (moderate), but the conditions are declared "poor surf conditions". Not worth it.
The best of a bad bunch, and I mean the only offering, is Saturday the 22nd morning. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate at 186. The wind is offshore from the NNW, giving us clean conditions. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". For a point break, this is the only time you might get a knee-high wave with a bit of push. Because it's a point, that longer period will help it wrap in a bit better than at a beachie. But don't expect much. Crowds are possible here.
After that, it's back to tiny dribble. Sunday the 23rd morning has a clean 2ft, but the energy is gone. Then we hit a massive gap. From the 24th through to the 1st of September, there is basically zero swell. Most days show "-" for swell height and 0 for energy. The end of the month is a total blank. There are a few days with 0.3ft of slop, but it's unsurfable.
So, to sum it up: if you're desperate, the only half-decent, clean surf will be on Saturday the 22nd of August morning at Voltri. It’s a small, ordinary wave, but it's the only one on offer. The rest of the 16 days is a flat, windy, or rainy mess.
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.
