Alright, let’s break this down. There’s a long dry spell here, no two ways about it. The first 13 days of this forecast period are flat as a pancake.
From July 6th through to the 19th, there’s just zero surf energy. The water was reading 27° on the 6th, which is a full 3° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a hot tub. But for waves? Nothing. Just poor conditions day after day.
The first proper sign of life shows up on Monday, July 20th, at Ancona. We’re talking a tiny NW swell about 3 feet, with a short 4-second interval. The energy is weak (28). The morning wind is light and clean, cross-offshore, so the surface will look okay, but the size and period are just not there for anything decent.
The real highlight, if you can call it that, is Tuesday, July 21st. Ancona in the early morning gets a small NW swell around 2 feet with a 4-second period. The combined energy is very weak (19). The standout feature here is the glassy offshore wind from the SSW – that’ll make the surface as clean as you could hope for. It’s not the right direction for this spot, which prefers an ESE swell, but that clean, calm wind will make these tiny waves rideable. It’s a good morning for beginners who want to practice on small, clean waves without any stress. Crowds can be a factor here sometimes, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.
The afternoon goes to a cross-onshore breeze and the swell drops, so the early session is the only window.
Bottom line – a long flat spell, and the only real, cleans window is that Tuesday morning. It’s small, but it’s clean.

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.
