The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the surf prospects for Ancona over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you, it’s a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much. The whole first week is basically a write-off. From now through to the 9th of August, there’s barely a ripple. We’re seeing tiny 1ft slop, short periods of 3 seconds, and combined wave energy that’s barely registering (4 energy units at best). The wind is mostly cross or cross-on, so it’s choppy and messy. There’s a little moment on the morning of the 4th where it goes glassy, but with only 0.7ft of swell, it’s not going to be doing anything for a surfer.
The pattern finally shifts a bit around the 10th of August. We get a bump in swell height to 3ft from the north, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy climbing to 41. It’s still a bit onshore and choppy, but at least there’s some push. The 16th of August is the one date that might get your attention. That morning we see a 5ft swell from the northeast, a period of 6 seconds, and energy jumping to 138. That’s a moderate amount of energy (138). The wind is a light cross-shore, which is better than onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy but rideable. For a spot like Ancona, which is a point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the east-southeast, the northeast swell direction is off-angle, so it might not be wrapping in perfectly, but it’s the best shot we’ve got.
Overall, there’s no clear standout session here. The morning of the 16th of August is the only real window with a decent swell size and manageable wind. For the rest of it, you’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days. Especially for beginners, the tiny swell we have is fine, but the conditions are just poor. Nothing to get excited about at Ancona at the moment.
Rusty out.

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.
