The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into what we're looking at for the next couple of weeks at Voltri.
Right now, we're in a real flat spell. The forecast is mostly empty lines and tiny, short-period bumps that won't do a thing. It's a painful stretch for the next week or so. Honestly, from now through to about the 24th of August, you're looking at surf that’s barely a ripple. The combined swell energy is mostly in the single digits or low tens, which is basically nothing. For a point break that's already considered *inconsistent*, this is a tough run.
The water is sitting at a balmy 84°, which is a good 7° above what you'd normally expect for this time of year – that's very unusual, feels like a warm bath out there.
Now, after that long gap, there's a glimmer of hope. On Tuesday the 25th of August, things change. The morning sees a jump in size. We're looking at a 5ft southerly swell with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined swell energy cranks up to 587 (moderate energy). The wind is offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, which should keep things fairly clean. But the real standout is that Tuesday afternoon. It gets glassy, with the wind dropping to nothing from the NNE, and a solid 8ft SW swell rolling in with an 8-second period. The energy hits 1085 (strong wave energy). That is legitimate, but at that size it's for experienced surfers only. It'll be a proper cleanup set on the point.
After that, the surf drops off again quickly. By Wednesday the 26th, it’s back to smaller, onshore junk, and then it fades right out to flat through the end of the month.
So, if you're holding out, don't get your hopes up for this week or next. Tuesday the 25th is the only real window, and it’s a tease. The better part of that afternoon could offer some solid, clean waves on the point for those with the skills to handle it, but know that this spot is inconsistent, so this one pulse might be it before the taps turn off again.

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.
