The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this forecast and it’s a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a 16-day window here, but the first real chance of a wave isn’t until the 30th of August, and even then it’s a struggle. The whole period is plagued by tiny, weak swell and often unfriendly wind. There’s a long gap from the 5th of September right through to the 10th where there’s practically nothing at all to ride. It’s a tough stretch.
The only spot on the radar is Ancona, a point break that’s fairly consistent for the area but it’s having a real quiet spell. The water is a very unusual 82°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
We finally see a tiny pulse of life on the afternoon of the 30th of August, with a 1ft swell from the N, but it’s a weak 3-second period with a cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is a measly 3 – barely a bump. The 3rd of September afternoon brings the biggest swell of the whole outlook, a 3ft N swell at 4 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 20, but it’s still weak and the wind is a messy cross-onshore at 16 mph, chopping it all up. That’s not worth getting excited about.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 11th of September. We’ve got a 2ft N swell, a 5-second period, and the combined energy is 17. More importantly, the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NW at 6 mph. That’s the cleanest window we get. It’s tiny, but it’ll be the best shape on offer. It’s still only for beginners, given the size. Be aware that the point break is exposed to the ESE, and this swell is coming from the N, so it’s not the ideal direction for the setup.
Other than that, there are a few glassy mornings on the 8th, 9th, and 10th of September, but with zero swell to speak of. It’s a real waiting game, and for a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a frustrating run. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, don’t rush to get the wetsuit on.
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.
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.
