Table - best surf conditions forecast for Voltri over the next 16 days.
Alright, grab a coffee, because we need to talk about Voltri for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at an extended run of very small, weak, and frankly, poor surf conditions. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until over a week and a half from now, so you're looking at a solid 11-day gap of barely anything rideable. The water's sitting around 77°, which feels much warmer than normal for this time of year (5° above average).
Let’s start with the now. From Tuesday afternoon, July 7th, right through to Saturday morning, July 18th, the swell is tiny – we're talking 0.3 feet to 1 feet at best, with short periods of 4 to 6 seconds, and combined energy levels are laughable, barely hitting double digits, mostly between 1 and 10. The wind is a mixed bag; we get some clean, offshore mornings with the N wind, but the wave energy just isn't there to back it up. Thursday morning, July 9th, has a little 0.7 foot from the SSW with a clean N wind, but it's not enough to get excited about. The best you could say is that the Sunday, July 12th morning session had a 1 foot SSE swell with a clean offshore wind, but again, it's just not enough push.
We finally see a pulse of energy showing up on Saturday morning, July 18th. The swell jumps to 2 feet from the SW, with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 55 – the first moderate value we've seen. The wind is glassy from the NNE in the morning, which is a definite positive. The problem is the consistency is rated as “inconsistent,” and the break itself is a point break. That 55 energy is still weak, but it's the best we'll get. For a beginner, that 2 feet is fine, but for most of us, it’s the very definition of "surfable but very ordinary".
After that, we slide back into small, onshore junk Sunday and Monday. There’s another small spike on Wednesday morning, July 22nd, with a 2 foot SW swell and a 6-second period, with glassy conditions, giving a combined energy of 26. It’s just more of the same.
Look, the standout in this outlook is that Saturday morning, July 18th, at Voltri. It’s the only window where you’ve got a half-decent combination of a little bit of swell (2 feet from the SW) and glassy wind. But even that is a weak claim. Given the low energy and the fact it’s inconsistent, don’t expect much. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your best bet, but keep expectations on the floor.

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.
