The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in the old measurements.
Gotta be honest, it’s a slow start. From the 4th of August right through until the morning of the 19th, it’s a desert. Tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. The only flicker of hope is the morning of the 7th, with a clean offshore breeze, but the swell is barely 0.7 ft with an 8-second period. Not worth paddling out for.
The real action finally shows up on the morning of the 19th of August. That’s the day. We get a proper bump of energy, with a solid 6 ft swell from the SSW, an 8-second period, and a light offshore wind. The combined energy is 310 (moderate), and the afternoon sees it at 5 ft with glassy conditions and energy of 368. That’s a nice little groundswell, and with the wind playing ball, Voltri (point) will have some clean, rideable waves. The 8-second period is a bit short for a point break, but the swell direction from the SSW is exactly what this spot likes to see. The water is a very warm 83° – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year.
This is the clear standout of the whole 16-day window. The only time it’s worth making a plan. The 6 ft height is a bit much for beginners, but anyone with a bit of experience will have a ball. It’s an inconsistent spot, so don’t expect non-stop waves, but when they come, they’ll be good. Could get a few folks out there, as crowds are sometimes a factor.
After that, it fades fast. Make the 19th count.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change. Rusty out.

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.
