The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the cards for Ancona over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s looking pretty bleak for a while. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, unrideable conditions or just plain poor surf kicking off. From today, the 16th of July, right through until the morning of the 27th of July, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. That's an eleven-day drought. The swell energy is barely a whisper, most of the time it's zero or single digits, and when there is a little bump, the wind is messing it up.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Monday the 27th of July. We’ve got a small, knee-high swell rolling in from the east at 3 ft. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it won’t have much grunt. But here’s the kicker: the wind is glassy, dead calm. That morning at Ancona (Italy) will have surfable little waves, and while the overall energy is weak (61), that clean surface will make the most of it. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, by 2°, which is notable.
Don’t get your hopes up for the afternoons, because that glassy window closes fast. The onshore wind kicks in and ruins the shape. After that morning session, the rest of the outlook is more of the same flatness and onshore chop.
So, your one and only standout is the morning of July 27th. Get out early for some little, clean ankle-to-knee sliders. After that, it’s back to staring at the horizon.
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.
