The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Ancona over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a dire stretch for a surf. The entire 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. There’s a long gap with absolutely nothing rideable at all. The first real blink of life doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 9th of September, and even then it’s barely a whisper.
Before that, from now right through the end of August and the start of September, it’s flat or hopeless. You get a few pulses of tiny, short-period dribble, like a 1ft NE windswell on the Saturday afternoon, or a 2ft N bump on Sunday, but the wind is all over the shop, and the wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely scratching double digits—like that Sunday afternoon only managing a weak 5 (weak energy). There’s nothing to get excited about.
The only day that even comes close to being worth checking is Wednesday morning the 9th. We get a tiny 2ft NNE swell, but with a pitiful period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is still very weak at 48 (weak energy). The saving grace is a clean, glassy start with a light WNW cross-offshore wind. It’ll be small and weak, but at least it won’t be a washing machine. Being an exposed point break, it needs more juice to truly work. But for a beginner, this would be the only shot, and even then, it’d be a struggle.
Forget the rest of that week and into the second week. The afternoons get chopped up by onshore breezes, and the mornings go flat again. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 12th of September morning with clean conditions again, but absolutely no swell to ride. It’s a total blank run for any decent waves, which is frustrating but not unusual for this area when the swell windows just don’t line up.
If you’re desperate, the 9th of September morning is your one and only look. Otherwise, leave the board in the car.

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.
