The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a quiet run ahead. The swell window just isn’t cooperating for Voltri, a point break that’s usually best with a solid SSW pulse. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves ahead, so don’t expect any hero sessions. There’s a gap of several days where you’ll barely need to bother waxing up.
The first real chance comes Sunday morning, the 6th of September. We’re looking at a tiny 1ft SSW swell, with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s short-period wind swell, not much push behind it. The combined swell energy is a weak 6, so it’s pretty limp. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is light offshore from the north at 3 mph. That’ll keep the surface clean. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is a massive 10° warmer than average for this time of year – far warmer than normal, so you won’t need a wetsuit.
Sunday afternoon glass off completely with 0 mph wind and a tiny 0.7ft wave, but the energy drops to just 3. It’s flat and glassy.
The following morning, Monday the 7th, the swell completely dies out to zero. There’s a north offshore breeze at 6 mph, but nothing to ride. This flat spell continues for days. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday… all show either no swell or minuscule bumps under 2ft. There’s a little bump on Wednesday morning the 9th with 2ft at 4 seconds from the SSW, but it’s cross-onshore wind, and the energy is still a meagre 16. Poor surf conditions all round.
Friday the 11th through to the end of the period brings a mix of very small, short-period swells from the SE and S, all with weak energy under 10. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, which would be great if there was any real wave to ride, but we’re talking 0.3ft to 1ft at best. Even the longer period swell of 8 seconds on Thursday afternoon the 10th only produces a 0.3ft wave with 6 energy – not enough to get excited about.
There is no standout day. Nothing is even close to being rideable for a competent surfer, let alone good. The forecast confidence for the near term is high: it’s flat. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run is not unusual. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the best you’ll get is a clean, glassy surface with zero wave. The setup looks more interesting for a SUP or a longboard cruise than a proper surf.

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.
