The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer.
Well, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this forecast window is a bit of a bummer. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The first few days are basically a write-off, and the pattern doesn't really improve. The best we can say is that there’s a tiny window of something surfable, but it’s far from perfect.
The first real sniff of a wave comes on Thursday morning, the 10th of September. We’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the ESE ticking in at a short 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (57). The wind is a cross-offshore from the SE, which is a positive, keeping things clean. The water temperature is a very unusual 82°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a small, weak wave, and definitely one for the foam boards or a longboard.
The same morning on Saturday the 12th of September, there’s a slightly bigger pulse of 4 ft from the north, but the period is still a weak 5 seconds, and the energy is still low (66). The wind is a cross-onshore, which will chop it up. It’s just not a great combo.
The rest of the 16-day forecast is a depressing run of tiny, weak, or non-existent swell with onshore winds. There are a few days with glassy conditions on the 19th and 20th of September, but there’s literally no swell to ride. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
For a standout, honestly, there isn’t one. If I had to pick the least bad option, it’d be that Thursday morning (10th September) at Ancona. The 3 ft from the ESE with a clean cross-offshore wind is the only time the conditions and a wave line up. It’s weak and small, but it’s surfable. Don’t expect any barrels.
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.
