The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough outlook for Ancona. Looking across the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that gets a real surfer’s heart pumping. Every single session is rated as poor surf conditions, so we’re not getting any standouts here.
We start with a gap right at the beginning. The first possible paddle is on Wednesday the 2nd of September, but that’s just a tiny 1ft of weak, short-period windswell, and the afternoon’s cross-on breeze won’t do it any favours. The combined energy is only 3 – that’s barely a ripple. Thursday the 3rd isn’t much better, with a little more height but still choppy.
Friday the 4th morning shows a clean, light cross-off breeze, but with only 2ft of swell and a combined energy of 7, there’s almost no push. Saturday and Sunday are a write-off – Sunday the 6th has a tiny 1ft to 2ft NNE windswell, but with onshore winds in the arvo, it’s pretty ugly. The water temp on the first day was a very unusual 82°F – much warmer than normal for this time of year – but that doesn’t help the waves.
We then hit a long dry spell. From Monday the 7th up until Wednesday the 9th, there’s zero swell on offer. The sea goes flat. Thursday the 10th gives us a little 2ft of easterly swell, but it’s cross-on and messy. The only time that looks even half interesting is Friday the 11th morning – glassy conditions, offshore wind from the SW, and a 2ft, 6-second easterly swell. It’s small, but with glass, it might be worth a splash on a longboard for a beginner. The energy is still weak (22), though.
After that, it’s more of the same: small, short-period, poor quality surf through to the end of the window on the 17th of September. The afternoon of the 16th has the biggest swell of the whole period at 3ft from the east with a period of 7 seconds and energy hitting 59 – that’s the highest number we see, but it’s choppy and cross-on. For a beginner-friendly point break like Ancona, it’s never too big, but the quality just isn’t there.
No standouts here. If you’re desperate, the glassy Friday the 11th morning is your best shot, but keep expectations real low. We’re in a flat run. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
