The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for Fenway Beach is a tough one. We’re looking at a real long stretch of nothing much. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly sitting under 100 (like 51 to 81) for the first week, and the wave comment is a flat-out “poor surf conditions” for almost every session. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is rarely your friend. This is a period where you might as well save the wax and do something else.

The first real chance of anything even surfable doesn’t come until Friday, August 21st. That morning, with the wind going glassy from the NNE, you might get a few clean ankle-biters. The swell is coming from the SE at 2ft, with a period of 11 seconds and combined energy at 96. It’s small and weak, but at least it’s tidy. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

The next morning, Saturday, August 22nd, is actually the best of a very poor bunch. The wind is dead calm, glassy as you like, with the same SE swell at 2ft and a longer period of 12 seconds. The combined energy bumps up a little to 137. It’s still just small, weak surf, but it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see all fortnight. For a beginner, that’s your window. It won’t be crowded, but it’s not really a standout – just the least-bad option.

After that, the window slams shut again. The forecast ends on Sunday, August 23rd with a 8ft S swell but it’s a messy, short-period 7 seconds with a cross-onshore wind, making it a total chop-fest. That’s not for paddling, that’s for the kite crew.

So, truth is, there’s no real highlight. It’s a long, flat, windy stretch. The only two mornings with a chance of a clean wave are the 21st and 22nd, and they’re barely surfable. Keep your eye on the longer-range stuff, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
