The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the next 16 days for Ancona, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. The first solid surfable window doesn’t show up until Monday morning the 27th of July, and even then it’s a pretty average affair. There’s a long gap of nothing from the 29th of July all the way through to the 7th of August, with barely a ripple to speak of. Then we get a little bump towards the end.
The best on offer? It’s really a toss-up between the brief window on Monday morning the 27th of July and a slightly better one on Friday the 7th of August. On Monday the 27th, you’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the east, with a period of 6 seconds – that’s short period, weak windswell, coming in at combined energy of just 68 (moderate energy). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west at 10 km/h, making it clean. It’s not big, but it’s surfable. The water temp is 80°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Then, after a long dry spell, we get to Friday morning the 7th of August. Again, looking at a small swell, 2 ft from the north-northeast, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 17 (weak energy). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west-northwest at 10 km/h, keeping it clean. It’s not the kind of day that’ll get your heart racing, but it’s the best of a bad bunch.
The other days don’t have much to offer. The 26th of July is a write-off with poor surf and cross-shore winds. The afternoon of the 27th gets onshore and messy. Everything from the 28th of July through the 6th of August is either flat or too choppy to be worth paddling out.
Ancona is a point break, beginner-friendly, and fairly consistent normally, but this forecast is just a flat spell. It’s exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is from the east-southeast, so the small east swells that do show up are on the right track, but the size is just too small to make anything of it. The water is a touch warmer than normal, but that doesn’t help the waves.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Monday morning the 27th of July is your best bet, but keep your expectations low. The 7th of August is a long shot, but it’s the next best thing.

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.
