The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta give it to you straight – the next 16 days are a total bust for surf. We're staring down a long, dry spell with nothing on offer that you'd paddle out for.
It starts flat on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, with glassy conditions but zero energy in the water. The water's sitting at 27°C, which is about 5° warmer than normal – that's very unusual for this time of year, but it doesn't help the waves. Wednesday the 16th sees a tiny 0.2ft to 0.3ft bump, but it's not worth mentioning.
We get a slight pulse of energy on Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th. Thursday morning brings a 2ft swell from the S at 5 seconds, but the wind is a cross-off. By the afternoon, it's 3ft from the S, but the wind turns cross-on. The energy climbs, hitting 103 on Friday morning with a 3ft SSW swell at 6 seconds. Still, it's all "poor surf conditions" with messy wind. There's a glassy moment Friday afternoon, but the swell drops back to 2ft. This whole stretch is a no-go for a decent ride.
Then the plug gets pulled. From Saturday the 19th right through to Tuesday the 29th of September, it's almost completely flat. We're talking over a week of days where the combined energy is zero. Even when a tiny 0.3ft to 1ft bump shows up around the 25th, the period is a short 4 to 8 seconds. At Voltri (Italy), we get clean, offshore winds during this dead period, which is just salt in the wound. The best we see is 1ft from the SSW on the 27th with an energy of 38, but the wind is cross-on and the quality is still poor.
There's no standout. There's no best on offer. This is a total blank run. It's a bit more normal for this area to have these quiet spells, but it's still a bummer. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to get psyched about. Kite surfers might have a look when the wind picks up, but for us paddle surfers, it's a time to wax the board and wait.

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.
