The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Ancona over the next 16 days is a real buzzkill. There’s just nothing to get stoked about. The data shows a whole lot of flatness and blown-out junk, with only one faint glimmer of hope.
Right now and for the next week, it’s dead. We’re talking clean morning skies but zero swell. A real desert. The best we can see is a tiny bump on the Friday afternoon of September 4th. Ancona (point break) gets a little 3ft swell from the NNE with a short 6-second period, weak energy at (78). The downside? The wind is cross-onshore from the NNE, so it’ll be choppy and lumpy.
The morning of September 5th might offer a slightly cleaner option. The swell drops to 2ft from the north, but the wind swings to a light WSW cross-off. That would smooth the surface, but the size is small. The water temp data doesn't have a direct anomaly to compare, so I can't tell you if it's warmer or cold for the season, but it's just a flat spell.
Honestly, if you’re really jonesing for a paddle, the Friday afternoon the 4th is your only shot, but it won't be pretty. The wind will mess it up. After that, September 6th brings howling winds and rain. This is a long, quiet period, and for Ancona, that's what’s on the menu right now.
Rusty.

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.
Ancona is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Pinocchio di Ancona. If you plan a holiday in Adriatic - Italy, look for hotels and other accommodation in Pinocchio di Ancona. Pinocchio di Ancona has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
