The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Ancona.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for the next 16 days. We’re looking at a long, flat spell that kicks off with a whole lot of nothing. From Thursday the 27th of August right through to the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, there’s just no real surf to speak of – a whole nine days of flatness. The wind toys with us, going glassy at times, but without any swell, it’s just a lake out there.
The first real sign of life shows up on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. We get a bit of a pulse from the NNE, around 4 ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 100, so it’s not going to get the heart racing. But the wind is glassy, so if you’re desperate for a paddle, it’ll be clean. The swell is pretty short-period, so expect crumbly, weak waves. It’s not a standout, but it’s the pick of a bad bunch. In the afternoon, the wind swings ESE at 12 mph, putting a chop on it, so get on it early.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. A few tiny pulses of 1 ft to 2 ft show up, but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore, killing any chance of a decent wave. The morning of Tuesday the 8th of September has a clean offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph, but with only 0.7 ft of swell, it’s an ankle-snapper at best. The last day in the window, Friday the 11th of September, has a morning with a light offshore cross-off wind and a 2 ft easterly swell, but it’s weak and the rain is coming.
For the beginner crew, this is a safe but boring period. With the swell barely touching 4 ft, it’s never going to be too big for anyone. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so a spring suit will do you fine.
Don’t get your hopes up for this one. It’s a waiting game.

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.
