The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking mighty flat. You’re gonna be staring at a lot of nothing for days on end. The first real hint of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday, the 13th of August, and even then, it’s more of a hope than a promise.
For the first week and a half, from now until the 12th, it’s a total write-off. The combined energy is a flat zero most days, and when there is a tiny bump, it’s a weak 0.7 ft to 2 ft with short-period slop. The wind is all over the shop, mostly cross-on or onshore, making a mess of what little ripple there is. Not worth paddling out for.
The best we’ve got – and I use that term loosely – is the morning of Thursday, August 13th. Ancona (Ancona) will see a tiny 3 ft swell from the NNE, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 81, so it’s not gonna get you under the lip, but the wind will be glassy. That’s the saving grace. For a few hours, it’ll be clean and rideable for a beginner or someone on a longboard. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 81°.
After that, it’s back to the same story. The swell drops right back to ankle-snappers, and the wind gets messy again. The whole forecast is a struggle. There’s just nothing to get excited about.
This is just one of those periods where the ocean takes a breath. We get blank runs like this every now and then. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a good time to clean the wax off your boards and catch up on sleep.
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.
