Table - best surf conditions forecast for Anna Maria Island over the next 16 days.
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming up for Anna Maria Island. The honest truth? There’s nothing that qualifies as good surf over the next 16 days. The finder shows zero recommendations from now through July 27th. The waves are flat, weak, or blown out.
Your best bet falls on Tuesday, July 14th. That morning, a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of just 7 will have offshore wind from the SE at 6 mph, keeping things clean. Tuesday afternoon, the swell bumps to 1ft from the same direction, the period stretches to 7 seconds, and combined energy reaches 15, but the wind turns cross-shore from the WSW at 9 mph, so expect some chop. Still, that’s the most rideable window of the whole outlook.
Otherwise, it’s onshore winds, tiny swell, or flat spells. The water is a warm 89°, which is 5° above average for this time of year—really unusual, so you’ll feel that bathwater. But without any meaningful swell, it’s hard to justify a session.
Long range, from July 23rd onward, it’s essentially flat with zero energy. This is a long dry spell. Keep an eye on Tuesday, July 14th, but don’t expect much.
These forecasts can turn around quickly around here, so stay hopeful.
Rusty.

Information about the Anna Maria Island Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Anna Maria Island provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Anna Maria Island can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Anna Maria Island 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 (Anna Maria Island) 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 Anna Maria Island 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.
