The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next 16 days for Voltri in imperial.
Straight up – the 16-day window is lean. There’s a big gap of almost no surf to work through, and no real standout session. The water temperature is 84°, which is about 8° above normal for the time of year – that’s very unusual, and it’s warm, but it doesn’t help the waves.
Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are both a washout. Risk of thunderstorms, onshore winds, and wave energy is weak, with combined energy values of 60 and 53. The swell is short-period, around 5 to 6 seconds, and the surf is poor. Not worth suiting up.
Saturday the 22nd is the best we’ve got in the first week. Saturday morning brings some clouds and a light NNW offshore breeze, which cleans things up. The swell is 4ft from the SSW at 7 seconds, with moderate combined energy of 153. The wave quality is ordinary, but it’s the most surfable slot. Saturday afternoon goes glassy with an ESE breeze and 3ft swell, but energy drops to 57. You could still find a few fun ones.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Sunday the 23rd all the way through to Tuesday the 1st of September, the surf is mostly flat or tiny. The combined energy barely reaches double digits, and swell heights are below 2ft, with periods under 5 seconds. There’s a pulse on the 28th of August – Friday morning shows 6ft from the SW at 7 seconds, with combined energy of 497, but the wind is cross-onshore and the conditions are marginal. The 28th afternoon is cross-onshore and poor. This is for the keen only, not for beginners.
The first week of September is slim. Wednesday the 2nd has a morning offshore breeze and a 3ft SSW swell at 7 seconds, with combined energy of 91. It’s clean but ordinary. The afternoon goes glassy with 2ft. Thursday and Friday are back to tiny, poor surf.
The pick of the 16 days is the Saturday morning of the 22nd, with that offshore wind and 4ft SSW swell. It’s not epic, but it’s the most user-friendly window. For the rest, keep an eye on the forecast – things might 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.
