The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We've got a long run of barely-there surf and clean conditions, but nothing with any real push. You'll be waiting a while for anything with a pulse.
The first little bump shows up on the morning of Thursday, 24th July. Ancona's a point break, so it needs a decent swell to get going, and this one's only 1ft with a short 4-second period from the NNE. The energy is a measly (5), and the water is feeling much warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is glassy, so it'll look clean, but it's really a skimboard session or a learner's paddle. It's a "beginner" spot anyway, so that's fine, but don't expect much.
Friday afternoon the 24th is the best of a very poor lot. The swell climbs to 4ft from the NE with a 6-second period, giving us a combined energy of (190). It's a moderate breeze, but it's cross-onshore, which will chop things up. For a point break, that's a bit of a mess. The size is okay for beginners, but it won't be the cleanest ride.
After that, it's a long, dry spell. From Saturday the 25th right through to Wednesday the 6th of August, the ocean pretty much shuts down. Most days show zero combined energy, with the occasional tiny 0.7ft or 1.0ft spike that's not worth getting wet for. The winds are often light or glassy, and the conditions are clean, but there's simply no swell to work with. It's a real test of patience.
If you're desperate for a paddle, the morning of Thursday the 7th of August is glassy and clean, but with zero swell energy. It's a dead calm. This is a pretty normal blank run for this area, so don't be surprised. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I'd leave the board in the shed.
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.
