The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for Fenway Beach. This is a breakwater setup, and it's fairly exposed to the south-east, but the swell just isn't showing up. We've got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, so don't get your hopes up.
The first proper recommendation is a bit of a non-starter, but let's walk through it. Friday morning, July 31st, we've got a tiny 3ft swell from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 130, and the wind is a cross-onshore breeze from the WSW at 6 mph. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Honestly, it's poor surf conditions – small, choppy, and not worth the effort. The whole weekend and into the next week is much the same: tiny, weak swells, with onshore or cross-onshore winds keeping things messy. The swell energy barely cracks 100 on most days, often dipping under 50. There's a little spike on Monday afternoon, August 3rd, with a 3.6ft south swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is a fresh 19 mph onshore, making it a chop fest. Not a window for a surfer.
The only glimmer in this whole 16-day outlook comes on Sunday morning, August 9th. We get a clean, glassy morning with a light 3 mph cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The swell is still tiny, only 2ft from the south, with a 6-second period and weak energy of 37. It's not going to be a classic, but for a beginner or someone on a longboard, those clean, smooth conditions might be the only time you can get a few small, crumbly rides without the wind ruining them. It's a true standout simply because everything else is worse.
After that, it's back to the same story: small, weak, and choppy. There's a period from August 12th to the 15th where the swell almost completely flatlines, with wave heights of 1ft or less and energy readings in the single digits and teens. The wind occasionally goes offshore or cross-offshore, but there's simply no swell to push. For a breakwater setup like this, a blank run is pretty normal when the south-east swell windows are quiet. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this period.

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.
