The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, looking at the stretch ahead for Voltri. Honestly, I've got to be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat. We're talking about a long, dry spell with no real surf on offer. The first record we get is for Friday the 17th, and it's already a no-go with zero swell energy. For the next week and a half, it's a whole lot of nothing. The swell just isn't showing up, with the combined energy of all swells directed here stuck at single-digit values (0 to 35), and most days barely registering a whisper. It's one of those blank runs that's more normal for this area when the conditions don't align.
Let's break it down, but there's not much to celebrate. Friday the 17th is a write-off. Saturday the 18th morning has a tiny 2ft swell from the SSW with a period of just 6 seconds, and the wave energy is a weak 35. The wind is glassy, so it's clean, but the swell is so small it's barely breaking. Sunday the 19th sees a similar story with a 2ft SSW swell, but the morning has a nice offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph, making it clean. Still, the energy is only 25, so it's not worth paddling out for. The rest of the first week is a wasteland of near-zero readings.
The only glimmer—and I mean a glimmer—comes right at the end of the forecast. On Tuesday the 28th, the morning shows a 3ft swell from the SE with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy finally jumps to 57. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, keeping it clean. It's still small, and the period is short, so the waves will be a bit weak and fat, but it's the best we get. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, spoiling it. After that, it's back to flatness through to the end of the period on Saturday the 1st of August.
So, if you're desperate, keep an eye on the morning of Tuesday the 28th. It's the only time the energy ticks over into the double digits, and with offshore wind, it might just be rideable for a longboard. But don't hold your breath. For the rest of it, you're better off finding something else to do. The water temperature at Voltri is a wild 82°, which is a massive 8° warmer than usual for this time of year—very unusual. That's about the only thing that's out of the ordinary.
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.
