The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough run for the local breaks. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, with barely a ripple to get excited about. The outlook is a real test of patience, with no standout surf on offer for the first week and a half.
The only break on the radar is Voltri, a point break that’s a beginner-friendly spot. It’s exposed to swell from the SSW, which is its optimum direction, but it’s also inconsistent, so it takes a fair bit of swell direction and size to get it working properly. The water here is running warm at 84°, a whopping 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so you’ll be shedding the wettie.
From Friday 24 July right through until Monday 3 August, it’s a dead zone. The wave energy is almost non-existent, with readings sinking to just 1 or 2 (weak energy). The combined energy metric barely climbs above 40 (moderate at best) for a moment on Monday 27 July, but that’s with a tiny 1ft swell from the SSE. The period is short too, around 5-7 seconds, meaning weak, choppy waves. Even when the wind goes glassy or offshore, there’s just no swell to work with. The score is a flat zero across the board.
The first real hint of life comes on Tuesday 4 August. The morning shows a slight bump in combined swell energy to 52 (still weak energy), with a 2ft swell from the S. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not groundswell, but the wind is a clean offshore from the N. The wave comment calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and the score is a lowly 1/10. This is your best bet, but it’s a terrible one. The swell is tiny, so beginners might find something to wobble on, but for anyone else, it’s barely worth the paddle.
After that, the models show the energy dropping back to nothing again for the rest of the week. The next chance is a faint pulse on Saturday 8 August, with a 1ft swell from the SW, period of 5 seconds, and a glassy afternoon. The energy reading is 14 (weak), and the score is again zero. It’s a long shot, and it’s 15 days away, so consider it a promising but very uncertain glimmer.
So, to sum it up: the only semi-rideable day in the entire 16-day window is Tuesday 4 August in the morning at Voltri, with a tiny 2ft S swell and clean offshore wind. It’s not a stand-out by any stretch, but it’s the only thing on the menu. For the rest of the time, the board stays in the car. This kind of blank run is normal for the area when the swell direction is wrong for this exposed point. Don’t stress – forecasts can change, and it won’t stay poor forever.
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.
