The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast for our little corner is a tough one. We're looking at a long, quiet spell before anything even thinks about showing up.
For the first several days, starting now and running all the way through to the 19th of July, it’s basically a flat spell. There’s nothing on the cards worth getting wet for. Gaps of days with nothing. You’ll see the odd tiny bump of windswell at under 3 feet, but the wind is all over the shop and the quality is just poor. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions (like Friday the 17th and the following Tuesday morning on the 22nd), but without any swell, it’s just a nice day for a swim, not a surf.
Ancona (point) – this is our only named break, and it’s usually a fairly consistent point break that's good for beginners. The water is sitting at a very unusual 82°, which is over 3° warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a proper anomaly.
Now, finally, we get a pulse of energy moving in. On Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July, the ocean starts to wake up. We’ve got a NE swell coming through at about 4 ft, with a period of 5 seconds. That’s a very short period, so it’s a weak, messy windswell, but it's all we’ve got. The combined energy reading is moderate (64 on Monday morning, jumping to 126 on Tuesday morning), but the shape will be average at best.
The standout session here is Tuesday the 21st of July, afternoon at Ancona. We’re looking at 4 ft of swell from the NE, with a light SSE breeze that turns it glassy. The wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary,” but for this run of flatness, a glassy 4 ft point wave is about as good as it gets. You won’t need a crowd report to know it’ll be quiet. It’s a clean, small wave for the beginners and longboarders. That’s your best bet.
After that, the energy fades again. We get a few more small, poor sessions, but nothing worth chasing. The 16-day outlook shows another potential little bump of ESE swell around the 26th and 27th of July, but it’s tiny (2 ft) and short period, with onshore winds ruining it. It’s a waiting game right now.
Stay patient,
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.
