The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Ancona over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a pretty grim run. There’s no real swell on the cards, and what little pops up is weak, short-period slop. This is gonna be a long, flat stretch, so don’t hold your breath.
The water’s sittin’ at 81°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—about 8° above average, so you’re looking at bathwater temps, but there’s no surf to enjoy it in.
The first bit of hope doesn’t come until Tuesday the 22nd of September morning. We’ve got a tiny 2 ft swell out of the NNE with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is only 44—weak. Winds are cross-offshore from the W at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean, but honestly, it’s just surfable waves in very ordinary conditions. Not worth getting excited about. That afternoon, it drops off again.
Wednesday the 23rd morning is a repeat—2 ft NNE swell, 5 sec period, 23 energy, clean with a cross-off breeze. Still tiny.
Thursday the 24th morning—2 ft from the N, 4 sec period, combined energy just 8. Clean, cross-off wind, but it’s barely a ripple.
After that, it fades again. From the 25th onward, we’re looking at flat, glassy mornings with no swell to speak of. A few tiny pulses around 1 ft with 2-3 second periods pop up on the 28th and 29th, but with onshore winds and fresh breezes, it’s just messy and not worth paddling out.
Look, if you’re a kiter, the afternoons with some cross-onshore wind might give you something to play with, but for a surfer? This is a write-off. There’s no standout, no real window of quality. Just a whole lot of flatness and a few days of ankle-biters. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s stay home time.

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.
