The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Voltri. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is lookin’ pretty flat and sad for a long while. The first real surfable day doesn’t even show up until Saturday, the 29th of August, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. We’ve got a solid gap of nothing from now until then, so don’t bother waxin’ up just yet.

That Saturday morning, the 29th, we finally see a bit of life. A tiny 3ft SSW swell creeps in with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 75. The north wind is blowin’ 6 mph, keepin’ things clean. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. Sunday the 30th morning is a similar story – 3ft SSW, clean with north wind at 3 mph, but still just a weak 69 energy. It’s nothin’ to write home about, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, you could get a few grovelly ones.

The standouts – and I use that word loosely – come on Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th of September. That’s over a week away, so keep your expectations in check. Friday morning, the 4th, we get a 4ft SSW swell with a 8-second period and a combined energy of 202. That’s moderate energy, and with north wind at 6 mph, it’ll be clean. That’s the best wave quality we’ve seen so far. Then Saturday morning, the 5th, is the real pick. Swell jumps to 5ft from the SW with a 9-second period, and combined energy hits 415 – that’s strong wave energy. North wind at 6 mph keeps it clean. That’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the window. Saturday afternoon also looks sweet – 4ft SW, 10-second period, glassy with south wind. That’s the best combo: clean, solid, and a bit of period.

Keep in mind, Voltri is a point break that’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a constant parade. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but when it’s over 5ft, like Saturday morning, it might be a bit much for total beginners. Also, that 5ft swell is right at the edge of being too big for rookies – more for the experienced crew.

Water temp is a warm 82° on the 24th, which is 6° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual for this time of year. So you’ll be in boardies or a spring suit at most.

For the rest of the second week, it drops off fast. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are back to tiny, weak junk. The 8th of September is flat as a pancake. So really, the whole window is a long wait for a short burst of fun. If you’re around, focus on that Friday 4th and Saturday 5th.

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.
