Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ancona over the next 16 days.
Alright, this one’s a bummer. Ancona’s a point break, and it’s usually fairly consistent, which gives you some hope. But for the next two weeks, it’s pretty much flat. The water’s sitting around 82°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – about 6°F above average, so you’ll be in for a warm dip, but there won’t be much surfing.
Right from Monday the 13th, there’s nothing. The swell energy is zero, and it stays that way through the whole first week. There’s a tiny blip around Sunday the 19th with a 3ft NNE swell, but the combined energy is only 34 – that’s weak. By Monday the 20th, we see a 4ft NNE swell with energy at 90, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy.
The only real standout – if you can call it that – happens around Tuesday the 22nd. The swell builds to 6ft from the NNE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 380, which is moderate. But here’s the catch: the wind is onshore, straight from the NNE at 16 mph. That’s going to chop it up bad. For Ancona, a point break, you want that optimum ESE direction, and you’re getting the opposite. This is more of a kite surfer’s window than a paddle surfer’s.
From Wednesday the 23rd onward, it fades fast. The energy drops back to 71, then to nothing by the 27th. There are long gaps of several days with no surf at all. Honestly, for a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this run is rough. But forecasts can change, so don’t give up completely.

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.
