The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Gotta keep it real. This 16-day forecast for Fenway Beach is a tough one. We’re starting with a big ol' zero in the surf department. That flat spell runs from right now, all the way until we see the first barely-rideable wave show up on Monday the 10th of August. That’s a long, dry gap with nothing to get excited about.
The water temp here is pretty normal for the season, nothing to write home about.
If you’re jonesing for a paddle, the only window that’s even worth a mention is the afternoon of Monday the 10th of August. We’re looking at a small 3ft swell coming from the SSW with a short 6-second period – typical weak windswell. The combined energy is moderate, checking in at 73. The silver lining is the wind: a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, which will keep the surface looking clean. This is a breakwater setup, it’s fairly consistent, and it likes swell from the SE best, so that SSW direction isn’t quite right. It’s a beginner spot, so that knee-high slop might be okay for a learner, but don't expect much drive. You might see a couple of other folks out, but nothing crazy.
After that little tease, it all dries up again. The rest of the first week and the entire second week is just tiny, choppy junk with onshore winds. We get a couple of mornings – Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of August – that look clean with offshore breezes, but the swell is a miserable 3ft with no guts. By the time you get to the afternoon of Monday the 17th of August, it’s glassy flat with waves barely 1ft. That’s not surfing, that’s floating.
So, the pick? That clean but tiny session on Monday the 10th of August afternoon. It’s the best of a very bad lot. For any real waves, you’ll need to find another spot or hope for a major forecast change.
Keep your chin up,
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.
