The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Ancona area. The entire 16-day window is looking flat and lifeless. We're talking a full stretch of nothing but tiny, weak bumps and mostly onshore chop. It’s a real bummer.
The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 7th through to the end of the first week, we're looking at zero swell energy (0 on the energy scale) with a mix of cross-off and cross-on winds. The water is a warm 82.4°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only positive. Even the mornings that are clean have no swell to ride.
We get a little tease on Wednesday the 12th with a tiny 1.3ft to 2.0ft NW to N swell, but the period is a pathetic 3 to 4 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-onshore. Combined energy barely hits 10. It’s not surfable, just messy.
The pattern of flat, clean mornings and choppy afternoons continues right through the middle of the month. We get a glassy morning on Monday the 17th with zero swell, and another glassy start on Friday the 21st. That Friday morning shows a tiny 1.3ft NNE swell with a 5-second period and a combined energy of 11, but it's gone by the afternoon. Saturday the 22nd is the same story – glassy morning, tiny 0.7ft bump, then the wind swings onshore and ruins it.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in this whole forecast. The windows are too short, the swell is too small, and the winds are never aligned for anything good. Looking at the guidance, the only break on offer is Ancona, a point break that's fairly consistent, but it’s not getting any love from the ocean. The optimum swell is from the ESE, and we're not seeing that at all. Even low expectations are not being met here.
If you’re a surfer, save your energy. This is a full blank run. The setup is more interesting for a kite if the wind gets strong enough, but for a paddle? There's nothing to chase. Forecasts can change, but this is looking grim for the next two weeks.

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.
