The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Look, it’s a quiet run ahead at Ancona. We’ve got a solid stretch of small, weak, or completely flat conditions to start. The first real, rideable surf doesn’t show up until Sunday the 27th of July, and even then, it’s far from exciting.
Saturday the 26th gives us a tiny pulse. By Sunday morning, we’ll see a bump to 3 ft from the east, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is offshore from the WSW, so the surface will be clean. It’s not doing much though, with the combined swell energy sitting at just 49.
Monday the 28th and beyond drops out again. There’s a long gap of almost no surf to speak of, day after day of flatness or tiny, wind-affected dribble. The sea goes quiet until Friday the 7th of August.
Now, Friday the 7th of August is where we finally see a little bump. Morning surf will be 4 ft from the NNE, with a 6-second period and a light offshore from the NW. That’s the cleanest look we’ve had in the whole run. Energy is decent (91), but it’s still short-period stuff, so expect crumbly, softer waves that won't barrel. The afternoon goes onshore and messy, so the window is tight. Given the lack of size and the beach-break tendencies, this could be more interesting for kites than paddle surfing that afternoon.
The best bet for the whole 16-day window is Friday morning, August 7th, at Ancona. That 1.1m from NNE with clean, light offshore wind (10 km/h) gives us the only real shot at a wave. It’s not a classic – the short period means it won’t have much push – but it’s the only stand-out in a long quiet run. The water here is at 81° which is a touch warmer than normal for July.
Rusty.

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.
