Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ancona over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty grim stretch of days ahead. The surf is just not showing up for a while. We've got a long gap with nothing really worth paddling out for, so don't rush to string your board. For the first week or so, from the 10th through until the 21st of July, there's barely a ripple. The few times there is a tiny bit of energy, it's so small and weak you'd be better off having a swim. We're talking tiny waves with a combined energy of just 3 to 10 (weak energy), and the winds are pretty much always on it or cross-shore, making it a messy, choppy affair. The best you'll get is a few glassy mornings but with zero swell to push you around. It's a proper blank run.
The first real hint of something happening comes on the 21st of July. Tuesday morning looks glassy at Ancona, a point break, which is a big positive. The swell is still tiny, only 1ft from the ESE, but the period stretches to 5 seconds and the combined energy climbs to 9 (weak energy). It's not a stand-out, but it's the first sign of life. The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit.
The only time I'd even consider waxing up is the afternoon of the 21st of July. Ancona will see a bump in size to 3ft from the NNE, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 52 (weak energy). The wind is onshore, which is a shame, but it's the best we've got. It's a tiny wave, so it's fine for beginners, but it's not going to blow anyone's mind.
After that, the 22nd of July has a similar story with a bit more wind, and then it all drops off again. The 23rd gets windy and messy, and the rest of the fortnight is more of the same – nothingburger.
So, to be straight with you, there's no standout session here. The best on offer is the afternoon of the 21st of July at Ancona for a tiny, low-energy wave. It's not a classic, but it's the only thing with a pulse in the whole forecast. For the rest of it, you're better off fixing a ding or having a cold one.
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.
