The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve stared at this forecast for Ancona and I’ve got to be straight with you: there’s nothing on the menu for a while. We’re looking at a good stretch of flat, poor conditions that runs right through the first week and into the weekend. The swell models are showing zilch, and the little bumps that show up on the 7th and 8th are just tiny wind slop, nothing that’ll get you out of bed. We’re talking about a solid eight to nine days of no real surf.
The first sign of anything half-decent shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 19th. There’s a small easterly swell pushing in – 2.6ft at 6 seconds. It’s not big, but with a light offshore breeze and clean conditions, the wave quality will be the best we’ve seen in this whole stretch. The combined energy is a measly 43, so it’s weak, but it's something. This is a beginner-friendly wave at best, but it’ll be clean and rideable. However, the afternoon kicks up a stronger onshore wind, so the morning is your only window.
The 20th of August, Thursday morning, is the other highlight. It’s not bigger – 1.6ft at 6 seconds – but it’s glassy, dead calm, with the same easterly direction. The energy is only 17, so it’s going to be soft. Still, glassy waves, even small ones, are fun. These are the only two real windows in the whole 16-day run, and neither one is a stand-out by any means.
Honestly, if you’re itching for a paddle, the 19th morning is your best bet. It’s the biggest and cleanest of the lot. But don’t get your hopes up for anything epic. This is a blank run for the area, and with the forecast so flat, it’s not surprising. It tends not to stay poor for long, and the models can change, but right now, the board stays in the car.
For Ancona, water temps are about average for this time of year. See you out there when it turns on.

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.
