The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our little slice of coast. It’s a tough stretch ahead, I tell ya. We’ve got a solid 16-day window starting now, and to be brutally honest, it's a lean one. From right now, we’re looking at nothing but flat spells and scraps for most of the run. The water is sitting at a very unusual 84°F, which is 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real anomaly, you're gonna feel like you're surfing in a bathtub.
There’s a proper gap of no surf at all from now through until the morning of Thursday, 7 August. If you're a beginner looking for a gentle push, that's your best bet. Voltri has a tiny little pulse of swell on offer that morning, about 1 foot from the SW, with a clean light offshore breeze from the N (offshore wind for Voltri). The energy is weak, just (9) from the combined swells. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't have much push, but the conditions will be glassy. It’s an inconsistent spot to begin with, so catching even just one or two is a win. It’s rated for beginners, and crowds are only a sometimes thing there, so you might have some space.
After that, it goes flat again for another big gap. The next time you see any real energy building is way out on Sunday, 16 August. That morning there’s a bit more size, about 2 feet from the SSW with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits (42). But the wind is a cross-onshore from the SE, so it’s going to be bumpy and messy. That afternoon the wind swings cross-off from the ENE, cleaning things up a bit with a 2 foot S swell. That’s your strongest looking patch in the whole outlook. But let’s be straight: 2 feet is still tiny, and the short period means it won't have much grunt. It’s not a standout by any means, more of a last-ditch option if you’re desperate for a paddle. The rest of the week is just flat and clean, or flat and glassy. Nothing else worth paddling out for, I’m afraid.
Honestly, if you’re a kiter, the breezier afternoons from the 16th might get your attention because the wave quality is poor for surfing anyway. But for a surfer? Put the board away, check the forecast again in a week, and hope things change.
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.
