The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re lookin’ at a long, painful gap with no real surf on offer. From now until the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, you’re basically dry. There’s a few tiny pulses of energy here and there, but nothing worth paddling out for. The wait is nearly two weeks, so don’t hold your breath.
The only faint glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday the 11th of August. Ancona is the only game in town, and it’s a point break that’s fairly consistent. Early that Tuesday morning, we’ve got a little 2ft swell from the NNE, period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak at best (21). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, which will keep the surface clean. Water temp is sittin’ around 79°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no drama there. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but it’s not going to be anything to write home about. The wind looks good, but the swell is tiny and short-period.
Tuesday afternoon sees a bump to 4ft from the N, but the wind swings cross-on from the N at 9 mph, choppin’ it up. The energy climbs a bit to 83, but it’s still a weak, messy little wave. Not a standout by any stretch.
After that little flirtation, it fades again. There’s nothing else on the menu worth mentionin’ through the rest of the window. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Tuesday morning session is your only shot, but keep the expectations low. It’s a dry spell, and that’s just how it is sometimes.
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.
