Ancona Surf Guide

Ancona in Adriatic is an exposed beach break that has fairly consistent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Ideal winds are from the southwest. There is too little fetch for groundswells to form and the ideal wave direction is from the southeast. Waves at the beach break both left and right. Best around high tide when the tide is falling. When it's working here, it can get crowded.
