The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and let’s have a look at what’s cooking down at Ancona.
To be straight with you, the next week and a bit is looking pretty flat and ordinary. There’s a big gap of nothing from the start all the way through until September 10. A few tiny ripples show up here and there, but nothing that’d get you out of bed. We’re talking sea breeze chop and barely a bump. The water’s running warm, about 82°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – more like a bath than the ocean.
Then, around Thursday the 10th, we finally see a little pulse of life. Thursday morning, the wind goes glassy, and we get a small 3ft swell from the northwest, period 4 seconds. The combined energy is weak (37). It’s not going to blow your mind, but for a spot that’s been dead, it’s a start. Thursday afternoon the swell nudges up to 3ft from the north, period 6 seconds, energy 65 – still weak, but at least the ocean is doing something.
The real standout comes on Monday the 14th. Monday morning, it goes glassy calm – dead flat wind – and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the north-northeast, period 6 seconds. The combined energy bumps up to 99, which is still on the low side of moderate. It’s not a proper groundswell, but the clean conditions will make it rideable. That morning is the best you’ll get. By the afternoon, the wind turns cross-onshore and the swell jumps to 6ft from the east-northeast, period 6 seconds, energy 246 – that’s moderate energy now. But that onshore wind will chop it up. Still, for a more experienced surfer, those afternoon waves could have some push, if you don’t mind the bump.
Tuesday the 15th morning offers a similar story: 3ft from the north-northeast, period 6 seconds, energy 159, with clean offshore wind. It’s a decent option if you missed Monday.
Honestly, there’s no really powerful swell in the whole 16 days. The best window is the 14th and 15th mornings, with clean, glassy or offshore conditions and small but rideable waves. The rest is a write-off.

Information about the Ancona Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ancona provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ancona can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ancona 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 (Ancona) 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 Ancona 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.
