Table - best surf conditions forecast for Voltri over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a pretty flat stretch for the Ligurian coast. The entire 16-day window is a flat spell for Voltri, so if you’re wanting to paddle out, you’re going to be waiting a long time. There’s a gap right from the start with no real surf to speak of.
From Thursday morning, July 9th, through to Friday morning, July 24th, we’re looking at waves that barely reach 1ft to 1ft at best. The combined swell energy is weak, with the highest reading hitting just 22 (moderate energy) on a couple of occasions, but the wave quality is still marked as poor. The predominant swell direction is from the SW to SSE, with short periods of 4 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, local windswell, not groundswell.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
There are no standout sessions. The best conditions might be a rare glassy moment, like Saturday morning, July 11th, with 1ft from the SE and a glassy surface, or Sunday afternoon, July 12th, with glassy conditions and 1ft from the SE. But at that size, you’re barely getting a ripple. You’re honestly better off with a paddleboard or a swim.
For the whole 16 days, there’s no single day worth calling a highlight. It’s a blank run, and unfortunately, that’s pretty normal for the area at this time.
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.
