Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and degrees for the crew.
Honestly, Voltri is looking like a waiting game for the first couple of weeks. There’s a big stretch of nothing from the start all the way through to the 24th of July. Tiny, gutless waves with combined energy readings mostly in the single digits (9 was the highest early on). Forget about it.
The only real chance of a wave comes on Saturday the 25th of July. We get a small pulse of swell around 2 to 3 feet from the SSW. The combined energy finally hits 41 (weak), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s just windswell. The good news is the wind. Saturday morning goes glassy, and by the afternoon a light N offshore at 6 mph cleans it right up. The water is a balmy 80°F, which is way warmer than average for this time of year—almost 7°F above normal, so the water is stupidly warm.
Voltri is a point break, good for beginners, but it’s inconsistent. It’s not a wave machine. The swell direction lines up perfectly with the SSW optimum, so the break should be working. You might get a few people out, but it’s not a zoo.
Sunday the 26th has a similar 2-foot swell, but the energy drops to 39 (weak) and the period is a weak 5 to 6 seconds. It’s still clean with offshore wind in the morning, but it’s a notch down.
For the beginners, 2 to 3 feet is perfect. For anyone else, it’s a scrape. The long flat spells are pretty normal for this spot, so don’t be surprised. Maybe bring a kite if you’re looking for something with more punch.
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.
