Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Voltri.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for any kind of decent surf. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell with a whole lot of nothing. The forecast shows a few tiny bumps, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°F, which is way warmer than we’d expect for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a wetsuit, but you’ll be needing a lot of patience.

The first sign of anything at all pops up on Saturday, 5th September. We’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW, but the wind is cross-on from the SE at 6 mph, so it’s not going to be pretty. The combined energy is a weak 9 (9), so really just wind ripples. It’s only for beginners, and even then, it’s not great.

Sunday the 6th has a bit of a morning offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft from the S. The afternoon goes glassy, but the swell drops to 0.3ft. Still, you could sit on a foamie and pretend. The energy is 2 (2) and 3 (3) – basically nothing.

The only blip of something remotely rideable is on Wednesday, 9th September. We get a 3ft swell from the SSW with a 5-second period. The energy jumps to 78 (78), which is still weak but at least it’s a number. The afternoon goes glassy with a light NE breeze at 3 mph. The conditions are “ordinary,” but it’s the best we’ve got. Still, with that short period, it’s not going to be shaping up into anything special – just a bit of a bump.

After that, it’s back to flatness. The 10th and 11th have some light offshore winds, but the swell is gone. We see a few days of glassy conditions and offshore breezes from the 12th through the 16th, but with zero swell, it’s just a lake out there. The spot is inconsistent, and this run proves it.

The final days, from the 17th to the 19th of September, offer a few 0.3ft and 0.7ft pulses with some light offshores, but the energy is either 1 (1) or 2 (2). It’s not worth a second look.

So, to sum it up – there are no standouts here. The best on offer is that Wednesday afternoon, and even that’s a stretch. Voltri is a point break that needs a proper SSW swell, and we just aren’t getting one in this 16-day window. For now, it’s a flat spell. Keep an eye on the charts, because it can’t stay this quiet forever.

Rusty.
