The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's coming our way.
Honestly, it's a bit of a tough run for Voltri for the next couple of weeks. The whole period is a real mixed bag, and we're going to have to wait a while for anything that gets the heart pumping. There's a long dry spell with basically nothing worthwhile until the end of the month.
Let's break it down. Starting from now, through to the 28th of August, we've got nothing but small, weak, and messy surf. The swell is tiny, often under 2ft, and what little energy there is comes from the SE with a short period, making for some pretty frustrating conditions. The wind is all over the place, and most days you'd be better off doing something else. The combined wave energy is pitiful, with readings like 4 (on the 23rd) and barely cracking double digits until the 27th (10). It's just not worth paddling out.
Now, we do get a little pulse on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. That's our only real standout, but it's a short-lived one. We see a 5ft SSW swell rolling in with a period of 6 seconds, and a clean, offshore northerly wind at 6 mph. The combined energy jumps to 287, which is moderate. For a spot like Voltri, that's as good as it gets in this forecast. It’s a point break that needs a good SSW to light up, and the conditions will be clean with that offshore breeze. Just be aware that the water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than average for this time of year – that's very unusual and a real treat. Keep in mind that the spot can be inconsistent, so you might have to wait for sets, and it's a beginner-friendly wave, so crowds are possible. The afternoon goes to hell though, as the wind swings SE and it gets messy.
After that, the energy drops off again. The morning of Sunday the 30th has some 3ft SW swell with clean wind, but the energy is only 79, so it's weak. The rest of the first week of September is back to tiny, weak slop, with energy readings in the single digits or low tens. The combined energy barely gets above 40 on the 2nd of September afternoon, with a 2ft SSW swell and glassy conditions. That's surfable but nothing to write home about. The whole run into the second week is flat or close to it, with a lot of 0.3ft to 2ft junk from the SE. The period is short, and the wind is generally onshore or cross-onshore.
So, in short: hold out for the morning of the 29th of August. That's your window. It's clean, there's a proper swell direction, and the water is incredibly warm. The rest of the time, it's a waiting game. A long-range call for the second week is just more of the same – tiny and weak. Keep an eye on it, but don't get your hopes up.
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.
