The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
The surf’s going to be pretty quiet for a long stretch. There’s not much swell for the first two weeks, and the wind is mostly messing things up. The water temp is about 69°, which is a bit cooler than normal for this time of year.
The only spot we’re looking at is Fenway Beach, a breakwater setup that’s fairly exposed to the swell. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it’s inconsistent, and crowds can show up sometimes.
From Thursday 6th August through Thursday 20th August, it’s a long, flat, choppy run. Swell heights barely reach 3ft, and the combined wave energy is weak, mostly under 100. The wind is mostly cross-on or cross, leaving the water messy. There’s a tiny moment on Monday 10th August morning with light onshore wind and a 2ft S swell, but it’s weak and not worth the effort.
The only real chance comes on Friday 21st August morning. The wind switches to a light offshore from the NNE, cleaning things up. Swell height hits 5ft from the S, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 184 (moderate). That’s the best of the whole forecast. The swell direction is close to the optimum SE, but not a perfect match. For a beginner spot, 5ft is a bit on the bigger side but still doable.
So, the one standout is Friday 21st August morning at Fenway Beach. Clean, some push, and offshore wind. It’s the only real window in the whole 16 days. After that, it’s back to small and choppy.
A long wait for one brief moment.
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.
