Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ancona over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me get this straight. It’s a quiet stretch ahead for Ancona. We’ve got a long gap of nothing doing, then a few tiny bumps, but honestly, nothing worth paddling out for most of this outlook.
Looking at the whole 16-day run from today, there’s a massive dry spell right off the bat. From July 12th through the 21st, the surf options are just flat or tiny – nothing you’d bother waxing up for. The first few days show some ankle-snappers, maybe 2ft at best on Sunday morning the 12th, but the wind’s onshore and it’s messy. That’s a no-go. You’d be staring at a blank ocean for over a week.
We don’t really see anything remotely interesting until Wednesday morning, July 22nd. There’s a tiny pulse from the NNE – 2ft swell, period around 5 seconds. That’s a short-period, weak little thing. Combined energy is only (15), so barely any push. Wind’s light and cross-off from the WNW that morning, so it’ll be clean at least. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 82° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, feels like a bath. But honestly, the swell’s too small for a proper session. It’s a beginner-only kind of day, if you’re desperate for a float.
The rest of the period through to the 27th just keeps teasing with similar tiny pulses – 2ft here, 2ft there – but always with cross-onshore or onshore wind ruining any shape. On Friday the 24th, you get a glassy morning, but there’s zero swell. That’s just flat.
Bottom line: there are no true standouts here. The best on offer is probably that Wednesday morning the 22nd, and even that’s a stretch – it’s small, weak, and only good for a beginner’s splash. For the rest, you’re better off doing something else.

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.
