Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, it’s pretty bleak for the most part. A whole lot of flat days or days with such tiny, weak swell it’s barely worth paddling out. For about a week and a half, from now through the 12th of July, there’s just nothing. Zero. Nada. If you’re itching to get wet, you’ll be waiting a while.
The first real sign of life hits the morning of Monday, 13th July at Ancona. It’s tiny, with a 2.3ft swell from the NW and a period of only 4 seconds – that’s windswell, not much push. The wind is glassy though, which is a nice touch, but the combined energy is bupkis (16). Still, it’s the first waves we’ve seen in a while.
The standout, and really the only event worth getting out of bed for, rolls in on Tuesday morning, 14th July. Ancona sees a jump to a 4.9ft swell coming from the NE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits 154, which is moderate and gives the waves some proper form. The wind is glassy – absolutely perfect conditions. This will be clean, shapey, and with enough size to be fun. For a beginner spot, 4.9ft is right on the limit of being a bit much, but it’s clean, so more confident novices will have a ball. The optimum swell direction for Ancona is from the ESE, so this NE swell is a bit off the mark, but for a day this clean, you take it. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get out early.
After that, we fade out. Wednesday the 15th has a small 3.9ft clean morning, but the energy is dropping fast (90), and by afternoon the wind swings onshore and messes it up. From the 16th onwards, it’s back to flat or near-flat for the rest of the outlook. The 14th is your day.

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.
