The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this stretch of coast.
To be honest, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a pretty grim picture for surfers. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions and most of the time the wave energy is just not there. The water is sitting at 82°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s something if you just want a swim.
From now through to the 21st of September, it’s a dead run. There’s practically no swell to speak of. The combined energy levels are mostly zero or single digits, with the biggest bump being a meager 14 on the 12th. That’s weak stuff. The wind is often offshore or glassy, which would be perfect if there were any waves, but there just aren’t. You’ll see a few tiny 0.3ft to 1ft waves from the SW or SSW, but with periods of just 4 to 7 seconds, that’s just wind chop. It’s not worth paddling out for.
The only real spark of hope comes on the 22nd of September, Tuesday morning. That’s the one standout. We finally see a pulse of swell from the SE at 4ft, with a period of 6 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 135 (moderate wave energy). The wind is offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not a classic swell, that short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly, but it’s surfable after such a long wait. The break to check is Voltri, a point break that’s usually inconsistent. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with the size being just over 3 feet and clean offshore wind, it’s the best we’ve got. Keep in mind, it’s a point break, so a short-period swell like this might not connect perfectly, but it’s your only shot. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
After that, the 23rd of September drops back to tiny 0.3ft waves and the energy fades away again. So, basically, one day of hope in a sea of flatness. That’s this stretch of coast for you at this time of year sometimes.
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.
