The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Alright, let's have a look at Ancona. I'll be straight with you—this is a tough forecast. The next two weeks are basically a write-off for anyone looking to get wet. From now, right through to the 20th of September, there's nothing on offer. The 16-day window is almost entirely dry. We’re talking fourteen days straight with no surf recommendations. That’s a long, painful stretch for a point break that’s fairly consistent on a good run. Water temp is running a wild 4° warmer than normal, so it's like bathwater, but that's about the only upside.
Now, hang in there, because there is a glimmer of hope right at the very end. On Monday, the 21st of September, we finally see some life. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it's the only game in town. The swell direction from the NNE offers up wobbly 3ft surf, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a weak, short-period wind swell, with wave energy sitting at just 48, so it’s not going to have any punch. The good news is the wind is light and cross-off in the morning, so it’ll be clean for the early session.
You could give it a paddle for a grovelly ride on a bigger board, but honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a traditional surfer, if you ask me. For the rest of the period, save your energy. It looks like a blank run is the new normal around here for a while. Forecasts can always change, but for now, the calendar is looking pretty empty.
Cheers,
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.
