Fenway Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are a tough stretch for Fenway Beach. There’s a real dry spell here, with nothing really worth paddling out for until late in the window. The first recommendation doesn’t come until the 22nd of July, so we’re looking at a solid gap of over a week with no real surf on offer. After that, the options are still pretty ordinary, so keep expectations low.

Fenway Beach – The only half-decent chance across the whole forecast lands on Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. We’ve got some swell coming in from the ESE at 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 128 – it’s not powerful, but it’s something. The real highlight here is the wind: it’s glassy, dead calm, which will make the surface clean as a whistle. That’s a major positive for a break that’s a breakwater setup and fairly exposed to the swell. The water temperature is running at 65°, which is much colder than usual for this time of year – a solid 4° below normal, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit. Crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you might get a few waves to yourself. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but if you’re desperate, that’s your best shot. The rest of the days are either too small, too windy, or just plain messy.

After that, the following days drop off again. Thursday has a bit of onshore wind and smaller swell, and by Friday the 24th, the wind picks up fresh with a risk of thunderstorms and lumpy conditions. The 25th sees a bit more size at 5 ft, but it’s cross-shore with a chop and still poor overall. Honestly, for kite surfers, some of those windier afternoon sessions might be more interesting than paddling.

So, to sum it up: if you’ve got a flexible schedule, aim for the 22nd of July morning. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

Stay salty,
Rusty
