The Lowdown

Right, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what Fenway Beach has got cooking over the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a mixed bag, mostly average with a couple of moments that might get your attention.

The water is sitting at 68°, which is about a degree and a half colder than we'd usually expect for this time of year – you'll notice it, but it's not a proper freeze.

First up, we're looking at Wednesday the 29th of July. The afternoon is a dud with a storm risk and onshore wind. Forget about it.

Thursday the 30th of July shows a little more promise. The morning kicks off with a light 9 mph offshore breeze from the north, and we've got a 3ft swell coming from the SSE. It's a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy (188) is moderate. The waves are surfable but the conditions are very ordinary. It's not gonna win any awards, but it's a paddle. The afternoon holds similar energy, just with a bit more wind.

Friday the 31st of July morning is probably the pick of the early days. We've got clean conditions with a slight cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The swell drops a bit to 3ft from the SSE, and the energy is weak (97). The period is still short at 8 seconds. It's a small, clean wave – decent for a beginner's session or a longboard. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind, so get out early.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Monday the 3rd of August. Through the morning, it's still poor, but the afternoon brings a bump. Swell jumps to 5ft from the SSW, with a short 6-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 293. The wind goes cross-shore, which isn't perfect, but that energy means there's some push. It'll be a bit of a mess, but for Fenway, that's the most size we'll see. Anything over 5ft is too much for beginners, but at 5ft, it's manageable if you're a bit keen.

After that, it's a long stretch of flat, choppy, or poor conditions right through to the second week. From August 4th all the way to August 13th, we're looking at tiny, weak, or onshore slop. The swell barely breaks 3ft, and the energy values are in the dumps – mostly below 100. The wind is often from the south or southwest, making things messy.

The best of the second week is a real slim pickings. Thursday morning, August 10th is the only time worth noting. There's a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW keeping it clean, but the swell is only 2ft from the south at 6 seconds, and the energy is weak (49). It's a glassy little wave, but you'll be fighting for any push.

Honestly, crowds are sometimes a factor at Fenway Beach, but with this outlook, I doubt you'll have much company. There's nothing here for experts. The consistency is fairly consistent for small waves, but the quality just isn't there for most of the run.

This is Fenway Beach; it’s a breakwater setup, so it needs a specific angle. The swell is mostly from the SSE to S, and the optimum is SE, so it's rarely lining up perfectly. This blank run feels pretty normal for the area when the angle is off.

Stay patient, check the forecast again in a few days, and maybe bring a kite if you see a strong southerly.

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.
