The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Ancona in feet and miles per hour.
It’s a slow start, I won’t lie. We’ve got a big gap of nothing from now all the way to the 3rd of September. Days of flat, glassy mornings or choppy afternoons, but no real swell to speak of. You’re looking at nearly a week with no worthwhile surf.
The only real pulse comes on the morning of the 3rd of September at Ancona, a point break that’s fairly consistent for the area. The swell is about 3ft out of the NNE, with a short period of 5 seconds. It’s a weak wind swell, with the combined energy at 90, so it’s small and a bit gutless. The wind is glassy, though, which matters a ton. That light offshore breeze from the NNE will clean it right up. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, and this is the standout of the whole forecast. Water temp is about average for the season.
The afternoon of the 3rd gets choppy with a cross-onshore wind. The morning of the 4th of September shows a 2ft NNE swell with clean cross-offshore wind from the west. The energy is weak at 33. It’s rideable, but barely.
After that, it drops off hard again. The 6th of September has a tiny 0.7ft to 1ft pulse, and then we’re looking at another flat spell from the 7th right through to the 10th of September. The morning of the 10th shows a 2ft easterly swell with clean wind, but the energy is only 12. It’s a maybe.
Look, if you’re itching to get wet, the morning of the 3rd of September is the only real window. Small, clean, and beginner-friendly, but it’s not going to blow your mind. That’s the pick of a very quiet period.
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.
