The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Ancona surf scene.
It’s a pretty bleak picture for the next while. There’s a long, flat spell that makes the first week and a half a total write-off. The water’s running at 82°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – that’s a big three-degree-plus anomaly, so pretty unusual.
We don’t see any real waves worth paddling for until Friday, September 11th. Before that, there’s a solid ten-day gap with tiny swell, bad wind, or just zero energy. A few little bumps pop up, but none of them are worth the walk.
The only real chance comes on Friday, 11th September morning. The swell at Ancona bumps up to 6ft out of the NNE with a short 6-second period, hitting a combined energy of 236 – that’s moderate energy, but it’s the only window. The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW at just 6 mph, keeping things clean. That’s your best bet, but it’s a short-period swell, so it won’t have much shape, and it’s over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners. By the afternoon, the wind goes onshore and the quality drops fast.
After that, it’s flat again. That Friday morning is the only standout, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
