The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a paddle around Voltri. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, so you might want to leave the board in the car for a bit.
First up, the water is sitting at a very warm 83°F, which is more than 5°F above the norm for this time of year – that’s unusual, almost like a warm bath. Anyway, onto the disappointing surf.
The first recommendation is for Voltri (point). The first few days are a write-off, with tiny dribbles of swell and no real energy. From Tuesday 4th August through to Sunday 9th, we’re looking at waves generally under 1ft. The combined energy is pitiful, barely cracking 10 (1 to 10), so don’t expect to get wet. Winds do go glassy or light offshore on a few mornings, but there’s nothing to ride.
We then hit a dead zone from Monday 10th August through to Monday 17th August. That’s a solid week of nothing. The forecasts show zero swell for most of that period, with the odd tiny bump of 0.3ft. It’s flat, folks.
The only real standout – and I use that term loosely – shows up on Wednesday 19th August. The morning brings a slight increase, with a 1ft swell from the SSW. The combined energy bumps up to 52 (moderate), which is the best we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, keeping things clean. But it’s still small, and by the afternoon, the onshore picks up and messes it.
So, the honest truth: there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. For a spot like Voltri, which is already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal. It’s a tough stretch, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
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.
