The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with ya about Fenway Beach. Lookin' at this 16-day stretch, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough one. The guidance points to Fenway as the only real option, but this ain't a week to be pickin' your waves; it's more about pickin' your moment, and there just aren't many of those. The whole period is a flat spell for all intents and purposes, with a run of days where you might as well leave the board in the car.

We kick off on Sunday the 2nd of August with just a tiny 1ft south swell, a short period of 7 seconds, and weak energy (39). The wind's blowing straight onshore from the south, so it's a write-off. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need to dig out the thickest rubber.

The only blip that gets a pulse going is Monday the 3rd of August. We see a bump in swell height to 6ft in the morning, then up to 7ft by the afternoon, all from the south with a period of 7-8 seconds. The combined energy jumps from moderate (278) to a very strong (1024) by Monday afternoon. But here's the heartbreaker: the wind is howling from the SSW to SW, hitting the beach as a messy cross-onshore flow. It's gonna be lumpy and choppy, more interesting for a kite surfer than paddle surfing. That afternoon session is the biggest swell of the whole outlook, but the quality just ain't there. For beginners, the 7ft afternoon size is a bit much, and with the messy wind, even the more experienced are gonna have a tough time.

After that, we slide back into a long, gutless run. From Tuesday the 4th of August right through until the 15th of August, it's a desert. The swell never tops 5ft, most days it's under 3ft, with short windswell periods of 5 to 8 seconds. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping the surface bumpy. A couple of mornings, like the 8th and 11th, show glassy conditions with zero wind, but there's no real swell to push through. It's a cruel tease.

There is a final flicker of hope on the 15th and 16th of August. On Saturday the 15th, we get a 3ft to 3ft south swell that's joined by a clean offshore wind from the NNE. That's right, clean conditions. The energy is still weak (51-54), but at least the surface will be smooth. Sunday the 16th morning keeps that clean feel with a cross-offshore wind and a touch more size at 4ft. For the absolute optimist who just wants a longboard glide, those are the only windows. But it's small, the period is short (5-6 seconds), so don't expect any power.

Overall, it's a tough outlook. No proper swells, no clean conditions to speak of for the quality waves we'd hope for. If you are desperate for a paddle, look at the morning of the 15th or 16th of August for the cleanest, albeit tiny, conditions.

Rusty.

Information about the Fenway Beach Surf forecast

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