The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Voltri over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. The swell is just not showing up with any real punch, and most days are going to be a struggle to find something worth paddling out for.
The water temperature at Voltri is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year. That’s a bit of a head-scratcher, but hey, at least the boardies are fine.
The only real window of hope is the morning of Saturday, 29th August. We’ve got a 2ft swell out of the SW, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 262, and with a light NE breeze swinging cross-offshore, conditions should be clean. This is the one true standout in the whole outlook. For a beginner-friendly spot like Voltri (Italy), 2ft is right at the top end of manageable, so it’s probably best for those with a bit of time in the water. That said, the swell period is short, so expect waves that are a bit crumbly and quick to close out – typical of a wind swell.
After that, we slide right back into flatness. From Sunday the 30th of August all the way through to the afternoon of Tuesday the 8th of September, it’s a long, dry spell. There are little spurts of energy here and there – like on Tuesday morning the 8th of September, we get a small 0.9ft SSW swell with glassy conditions and weak energy (66), but it’s still rated as ordinary. It’s a desperate option at best.
Wednesday morning the 9th of September sees a little bump of 0.3ft from the SW with a longer period of 7 seconds and a cross-offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph. Clean, but tiny. Then again on Friday the 11th of September, we get a 0.9ft SSW swell in the morning, but it’s onshore wind and looks messy.
The rest of the time? Mostly flat or near-flat, with a lot of glassy mornings but no swell to go with them.
Voltri is an exposed point break that can be inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. For any kite surfers reading, there just isn’t the wind strength or consistency to get excited about either.
So, to sum it up: the standout is Saturday morning, 29th August. If you’re free, that’s your shot. For the rest of the run, bring a camera, because you’ll be shooting more photos than waves.

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.
