The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Fenway Beach, it’s a pretty grim stretch of small, weak, onshore junk. There’s really no proper swell to speak of and the wind is mostly junk, keeping things choppy and messy. The water’s running a bit colder than usual for this time of year at 69°, so don’t expect a warm one either.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday, the 18th of August. Up until then, it’s all poor surf conditions with tiny swell and cross-onshore breezes. That’s a solid 13-day gap of nothing worth mentioning.
On Monday morning, the 18th, we finally see a bump in energy. The swell ticks up to 4ft from the S with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 204 (moderate), and the wind goes light cross-offshore from the NNE, making it clean. The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and honestly, that’s the best we’ve got. It’s a breakwater setup, fairly consistent, and fairly exposed to the S swell, which is the optimum direction. Expect crowds sometimes. For a beginner spot, the 4ft is doable, but it’s nothing to write home about. The afternoon brings the wind back around onshore, so that window is narrow.
After that, the rest of the outlook fades back into small, crummy surf with weak energy and poor winds. There’s nothing else that stands out as a true highlight. If you’re desperate, you could sneak in that Monday morning session, but otherwise, this stretch is a write-off.
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.
