The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the local stretch. I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat for the most part, with only tiny, weak pulses of swell showing up. We’re going to have a lot of waiting around, but there are a couple of moments where the conditions might just be worth a paddle for the truly keen.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday the 18th of July. It’s nothing to write home about, but we’ve got a weak 2 ft SSW swell showing up. The combined energy is only a modest 20, so it’s not going to be pushing much water. The real story here is the wind. Early morning, we’ve got glassy conditions from the ENE at 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets for a tiny wave. Voltri is a point break, so it handles small swell better than most, and with that kind of glass, it’ll be smooth. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re learning or just want to get a feel for the board, this is your window. The water is a balmy 81°, which is a full 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you might not even need a spring suit.
We grind through a few more days of tiny, almost non-existent surf. The wave energy drops to single digits and even zeros for long stretches. There’s a dry spell from Monday the 20th through to Friday the 25th of July where the swell is completely absent for the most part, with just a few 0.3 ft blips that aren't worth driving for.
Just when you think it’s a total loss, we get a little bump on Sunday the 26th of July. It’s still small, with a 1 ft SW swell, but the period jumps to 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 42 – the highest we’ve seen. The wind is a bit messy from the ESE, so it’s not going to be perfect, but it’s the biggest, most energetic wave of the whole 16-day window. It’s still only really for the small-wave crew, and it’s still weak overall.
After that, the last few days of the month and into the 30th of July just fizzle out again with tiny, poor surf and onshore breezes. Honestly, the glassy mornings on the 18th are your best bet if you’re desperate for a slide. For the rest of it, you’re better off leaving the boards in the car and having a coffee on the beach. It’s a flat spell, but it won’t last forever.
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.
