The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Truth is, we’ve got a long, flat spell ahead for the Ancona area. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, with no real surf to get excited about. The first few days are a total write-off, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim run until the middle of the second week.
The surf starts off virtually non-existent. Saturday and Sunday (5th and 6th) are a bust with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The water is a notable 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing out of the ordinary.
We see a tiny pulse of energy on Thursday the 10th, with a small swell from the ESE at 2ft and a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 22 – nothing to get in the water for. The wind is light, but the waves are too small and weak to matter.
The most "surfable" looking window comes on Friday the 11th, with a swell from the north at 3ft and a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 71 (still weak in the grand scheme), but the onshore wind is a problem. The wind is cross-on from the north, making it choppy and messy. For a beginner point break, this is still poor surf quality.
After that, it’s all downhill again. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to Sunday the 20th, the swell is almost non-existent, with day after day of flat conditions. The best you’ll see is a tiny 3ft on the 14th, but with onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms, it’s a hard pass.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout here. No day to circle. The consistent theme is poor surf, a lack of energy, and generally unfavourable wind. Sometimes it’s just like that. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the van.
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.
