The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty quiet. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the first few days are a bit of a write-off. The swell is tiny, and honestly, the conditions are just poor. There's a gap right from the start with no real surf to speak of.
We're looking at Voltri, a point break that's a beginner-friendly spot. It's a bit of an inconsistent wave, so you need to be patient. The water is sitting at a very warm 82°, which is a massive 6° above the norm for this time of year – that's very unusual, so you can leave the thick suit at home.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes on Sunday, August 11th. Tuesday morning, to be specific. There's a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind is glassy from the SE. We're looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 36. It's not going to blow you away, but it's the cleanest we've seen. That's about as good as it gets for a while.
Then, on Wednesday, August 13th, we get a bit of a morning window. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, which is clean. The swell is a pathetic 0.3ft from the SW, but the period stretches to 8 seconds. The energy is only 3. It's a long shot, but a clean offshore day on a point break always has a little bit of charm.
Honestly, there's nothing in this 16-day run that's a true standout. The swell is consistently below 2ft, and the energy never gets into the moderate range. The best bet is that Tuesday morning on the 11th, and even that's a gamble. For the rest of the window, you're looking at a lot of flat, glassy mornings. It's one of those quiet spells where the forecast can change, but right now, there's not much to get excited about.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
