The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks along this stretch of coast. I gotta be straight with you – the start of this period is a real flat spell. There’s a gap of several days with no real surf to speak of, so don’t bother paddling out until we get into the second week. The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is a whopping 8° above normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels more like a tropical bathtub than a surf zone.
We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on Wednesday, September 9th, for Voltri. This is a point break that’s exposed to a SSW swell, but it’s inconsistent and only really suited for beginners. The morning of the 9th brings a small S swell at 2 ft, period of 6 seconds, with a combined swell energy of just 50 (weak). The wind is NNE at 6 mph, which is a cross-offshore breeze keeping things reasonably clean. The afternoon bumps up to 2 ft from the SW at 7 seconds, energy at 54, and the wind stays the same. It’s surfable but very ordinary – not a standout by any stretch.
The best of what’s on offer comes on Thursday, September 10th, in the morning. Swell is 2 ft from the SSW at 8 seconds, combined energy of 41 (weak), but the wind is a solid NNW at 12 mph, blowing offshore. That’s clean, lined-up conditions for a point break like Voltri. This is the pick of the window, but honestly, it’s not a world-beater – just the cleanest of a flat run. The afternoon drops off.
Friday, September 11th, morning has a similar setup: 2 ft from the SW at 7 seconds, energy 42, with a light offshore from the north at 6 mph. Again, it’s clean but tiny. After that, from Saturday the 12th right through to the end of the 16-day window, we’re back to next to nothing – days of flat, glassy water with no swell to speak of.
To sum it up: if you’re desperate for a paddle, Wednesday the 9th to Friday the 11th offer the only chances, with Thursday morning being the cleanest. Don’t expect much power. The rest of the fortnight is a write-off. Conditions can flip, but right now, this is a lean run.

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.
