Voltri Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the Voltri region. I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t exactly a blockbuster forecast. We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak conditions, and the wave energy is just not there for most of the outlook.

The first week is a real struggle. We’re talking about a lot of mornings with glassy conditions and offshore breezes, but the swell is barely a ripple. Through Friday 24 July and the weekend, we’ve got negligible swell heights, often under 0.7 ft, with combined energy values that are barely a whisper (1). The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, hitting 84°F, which is over 7°F above average. All that warmth doesn’t mean a thing for the waves, though. Conditions are poor, and the surf is basically flat.

We do see a tiny pulse of life on Monday 27 July. The morning shows some rain showers, but the wind is glassy from the NE. Swell ticks up to 2 ft from the S, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy rises to 49, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see for a while. The afternoon improves even more – clear skies, glassy wind from the S, and the same 2 ft swell from the SSW. You’ll find surfable waves, but they’re pretty ordinary. This is your best bet for a paddle in the first week, but don’t expect much.

After that little blip, we drop right back into flatness. From Tuesday 28 July right through to the end of the first week and into the start of August, there’s nothing doing. The combined energy is mostly zero, and the swell heights are a big fat dash. It’s a long, dry spell.

We finally see a return of some energy on the 3rd of August. Monday morning brings a glassy 2 ft from the SE (period 5 seconds), but the combined energy is only 13. The conditions are poor, so it’s not a goer. The best chance in this second week looks like Friday 7th August. The morning has a better offshore wind from the N at 9 mph, and we see a 2 ft swell from the S, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally hits 81, which is still weak, but it’s the highest we’ve seen. The conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary", and the offshore wind will keep it clean. The afternoon gets even better with glassy conditions again. If you’re desperate, that’s your window, but it’s a long way off and still nothing special.

Honestly, there’s no standout here. The whole 16-day window is a washout. For a point break like Voltri that is inconsistent, this is a pretty normal blank run. The waves are too small and weak for any real fun. The only faint hope is the 27th of July and the 7th of August, and even those are just "ordinary" surf. Don’t get your hopes up for a proper session.

Rusty.
