Alright folks, this one’s a total bummer. We’ve got a solid two weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell window just isn't delivering, and I can't sugarcoat it.
Our only spot on the map is Ancona, a point break that likes a swell from the ESE. But the entire 16-day forecast is flat. From Sunday, July 5th, all the way through, every single report screams "poor surf conditions." It’s a long, quiet, empty gap.
The water is running at 81°F, which is a huge 6°F warmer than normal. Feels like a hot tub, but you can’t ride a hot tub.
We do finally see a tiny pulse on Wednesday, July 15th. The morning looks cleanest, with a 2 ft swell from the NNE, period of 4 seconds. Combined energy is just 18, so it’s weak. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW. It’s still classed as poor. Just a little bump.
By Monday morning, July 20th, the biggest swell shows up. A 3 ft wave from the NNE, period of 6 seconds. Energy hits 74. Still weak. But the wind will be howling cross-shore from the NW at 16 mph, making it choppy and awful.
Nothing in this window is worth a recommendation. Ancona is in a total flat spell. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the glassy mornings like Tuesday the 7th or Saturday the 19th are clean, but with no swell, you’re just floating. Save the energy.

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.
