The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming down the pipeline for Voltri.
Got to be honest, this forecast is a bit of a bummer. We're looking at a big gap with nothing to ride for the first week. The first half-decent chance doesn't show up until the morning of Saturday, August 29th, and even that's a "maybe" at best.
So, let's get to the only real window. Saturday the 29th of August morning is your best shot. We get a little push from the SSW with a 4ft swell and an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (173), and with a light NNE offshore breeze, it'll be clean. The break is a point, so a longer period groundswell like this can wrap in nicely. It's an inconsistent, beginner-friendly wave, and you might have it to yourself, though crowds are possible. It's the only session that's even close to being worth a look.
Sunday the 30th of August morning sees the swell drop to 2ft from the SSW, but with glassy conditions from a NNW breeze. The wind is perfect, but the swell is weak, with a combined energy of just 42. It's a wave for the longboard or a log.
After that, it's back to the same old story. The rest of the first week and into the second week is all tiny, short-period slop and mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind. The morning of Wednesday, September 3rd, has a glassy 1ft from the SW, but with a combined energy of 21, it's not going to do much. Same for the morning of Friday, September 4th, with a 1ft SW swell and a clean offshore breeze, but again, the energy is just too low.
For the second week, the pattern doesn't change. Mornings on the 6th, 7th, and 9th of September offer clean, offshore conditions but with tiny waves (0.7ft to 1.0ft) and very low energy. It's a time to be on the beach, not in the water.
So, keep the board in the car and the expectations low. The only real standout, and I'm being generous, is the early session on Saturday, August 29th. The rest of the forecast is a whole lot of nothing. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
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.
