The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here.
So, I’ll level with you – the surf forecast for Fenway Beach over the next two weeks is pretty grim. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for, and we’re looking at a big dry spell through most of August before anything even remotely interesting shows up.
Right now, starting Wednesday the 19th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft south swell with a short 6-second period – combined energy is a weak 42. On top of that, the wind’s cross-on and choppy. The whole next week is much the same: little swells, mostly under 3ft, and when we get a touch more height, like Saturday morning the 22nd with 2ft, the period is only 4 seconds – just messy windswell. The water temp is 69°F, a hair below average for the season.
A couple of mornings will have glassy or offshore conditions, like Sunday the 23rd morning with 2ft and glass, and Wednesday the 26th morning with 1ft and glass again – but the swell’s just too small to matter. Even the clean mornings with offshore wind, like Friday the 28th morning with 3ft, the energy is only 77 and the period stays short.
The only little glimmer comes on Tuesday the 1st of September, morning. We get a 1ft southeast swell with a long 12-second period, pushing the combined energy to 109 – moderate. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The call is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. That’s the pick of a very poor bunch. The south direction isn’t perfect for this breakwater spot, and it’s tiny, but that longer period might give it enough shape to catch a few weak ones.
All in all, it’s a long wait. Don’t plan your week around it. Things can always change, but right now Fenway Beach is in a real slump.
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.
