Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's see what Mother Nature's got cookin' for us.
I'll level with you – it's a sleepy stretch ahead. We've got a real flat spell on our hands. From Friday, July 10th, all the way through to about Saturday, July 18th, it's basically a lake out there. The swell energy is in the single digits, meaning there's nothing pushing in. It's a tough stretch.
For the true beginner, or anyone just wanting a paddle, Anna Maria Island might see a tiny bump on Sunday, July 19th. It's a little 2ft swell from the west, but the period is only 4 seconds, so it's weak and crumbly. The wind is a side-shore breeze, so it won't be perfect, but it's not a total washout.
The best of a quiet bunch looks to be Tuesday morning, July 21st. Anna Maria Island should have a 2ft swell from the west with a 6-second period. The combined energy hits 71 – still low, but the highest we see. The big plus is a clean 16 mph cross-offshore wind from the south. That should keep the surface buttery smooth. The water temp is normal for this time of year.
After that, it's back to the same old story for the rest of the window. Tiny pulses of swell, but nothing worth rushing out for.
So, to wrap it up: it's a long, flat period. If you're jonesing to get wet, Tuesday the 21st looks like your best shot for some clean, knee-high rollers. Otherwise, it might be time to take up a new hobby for a bit.
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.
