The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for this stretch is a pretty poor run overall. We’re looking at a long gap of tiny, unrideable waves, followed by a brief moment that might just about get you wet.
We’re starting off from Wednesday the 29th of July, and honestly, for the first week and a half, there’s hardly a whisper of swell. Through Wednesday and Thursday, you’re looking at waves barely reaching 0.7 ft, with combined swell energy sitting in the weak single digits (max 6). The mornings offer light-offshore winds, which is clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Friday the 31st of July gives us glassy conditions in the morning with the wind going dead calm, but again, the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft. That pattern holds right through to the 5th of August – tiny, weak energy (values like 1, 2, 3, or 4), with some light offshores and glassy mornings. Still, you can’t surf what isn’t there.
The first real change comes on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning brings a bump in the road: a 2 ft swell from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy finally pushes up to 73, which is still weak but at least it's something. The wind is glassy from the east, so conditions are clean. This is the most promising window of the entire forecast, but it’s still small and the wave quality is described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout by any means.
After that Saturday morning, the energy drops back into the teens and single digits, with the swell fading back to 1 ft and smaller by Sunday the 9th, and then into nothing again.
For Voltri, the pick of a very slim bunch is that Saturday morning, August 8th. The break is a point break that is inconsistent and best for beginners. With 2 ft swell from the SW and glassy conditions, it’s the only time you might get a fun little knee-high wave. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
From Sunday the 9th onwards, it’s back to flatness or tiny leftovers, with the combined energy dropping to 14 and then to 10 or lower. The recommendation window just isn't there.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Saturday morning is your one chance. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet wait.
Stay tuned, forecasts 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.
