Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

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.
