Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ancona over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Ancona over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ll be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. From Thursday the 9th right through to the end of the following week, it’s tiny, weak, and messy. The combined wave energy is barely registering, mostly single-digit values, so you’re looking at a lot of flat spells. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 81°, which is a real anomaly, but it’s not going to help the waves.
There are a few mornings where it goes glassy – like Saturday the 11th, Sunday the 12th, and Thursday the 16th – but with swell heights barely reaching 1 ft, and periods of 3 to 4 seconds, it’s just wind chop, not surf. Not worth paddling out for.
The only glimmer of hope doesn’t arrive until Wednesday the 22nd. By the afternoon, a moderate cross-offshore wind from the WSW kicks in, and we finally see a bit of size. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the NNW, with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy value of 80. That’s still weak, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The wind is clean, but the swell is short-period and the conditions are still described as poor. Not great.
Thursday the 23rd morning is your best bet in the whole outlook. The swell drops a bit to 4 ft from the ENE, but the period is still short at 5 seconds, and the combined energy is 62. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WSW, keeping things clean. The surf is rideable, but it’s very ordinary. For a spot like Ancona, a point break that is fairly consistent, this is a real letdown. The optimum swell direction here is ESE, and we’re getting ENE, so it’s not a great match.
Honestly, there are no standout days here. The closest thing to a wave is Thursday the 23rd morning, but even then, it’s a marginal call. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a few knee-high lumps, but don’t expect any quality. The rest of the 16 days is a flat and frustrating gap.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
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.
