The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get real about what's coming up for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of wind-strafed, small, weak surf. The swell energy is barely registering, with values like 41, 71, and 54 (weak) for the first week. The wind is almost always from the SW or SSW, blowing straight across the break, making for a choppy, messy lineup. The swell is small, never cracking 3 feet, and it's mostly short-period S or SSW windswell, which just doesn't have any push.

There is a tiny glimmer of light in the middle of the second week, but you have to wait for it. The whole period from now until the 19th of August is a write-off. The forecast is packed with "poor surf conditions" and zero scores. It's a long, flat, frustrated grind.

The only real standout, and I use that term loosely, is the morning of Wednesday, August 19th. The wind shifts to a light offshore from the N, and for a few hours, the water will be clean. The swell bumps up to 4.6ft from the S with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 203 (moderate). That's enough to make it surfable, but it's still a weak, short-period S swell. For a beginner-friendly breakwater, this is about as good as it's going to get in this window. It's not a classic, but it's a paddle. The crowd might be there, as it's a beginner spot, and with nothing else around, it could be busy.

The following morning, Thursday, August 20th, also has a light offshore wind from the ENE and clean conditions, but the swell drops back to 2.6ft. It's a better session than the wind-blown days, but still a shadow of what you'd want.

So, if you're desperate, you've got a window on the morning of the 19th. Don't wait for the afternoon, because the wind goes onshore and it's all over. The rest of the time? Save your energy and check back later. The forecasts can always change, but right now, this is a long dry spell.

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.
