The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat. Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got for Ancona. It’s a bit of a wait, boys and girls. The start of the run is a flat dead zone. From Monday the 7th right through to Saturday the 19th, this place is a write-off. We’re talking twelve days of barely a ripple, all with “poor surf conditions” in the notes. Maybe a little knee-high bump on the 10th and 11th, but with cross and cross-on winds, it’s not worth wetting a board. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 82°F on the 7th, but that’s the only highlight for a while.
Then the pattern changes. The first real pulse arrives on Saturday morning, the 19th of September. We get a jump to 6ft from the NNE, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short, weak windswell, but the wind is offshore from the SW, which will tidy it up. The combined energy (295) is moderate, in the upper end of that range. The morning session is the only look here, as the afternoon turns to rain showers and a strong onshore wind. For a beginner-friendly point break, 6ft is on the bigger side, so it’s not for the faint of heart.
The standout is the Tuesday morning session on the 22nd of September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at 8ft of groundswell from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds. The period is a bit short, but the combined energy jumps to 539 (strong), and the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NW. That means clean, lined-up waves. At 8ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers at Ancona’s point setup. The swell direction is ESE, which is not the optimum from the SSE, but the energy and the clean conditions make it the best of a pretty quiet 16-day window.
The rest of the run is more of the same dead or messy stuff after that. The 20th and 21st have some size but are ruined by cross and cross-on winds. Tuesday morning on the 22nd is the one. The forecast is for the end of the second week, so it’s promising but not a lock.
Rusty out.

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.
