The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get this out there.

Look, I’m gonna be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring around Fenway Beach. We’ve got a run of small, short-period swells that just aren’t going to have any push or shape to them. You’re looking at a whole lot of nothing for the first stretch, and honestly, it’s a bit of a bummer.

The water temp is sitting around 69°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.

We’ve got a solid gap here with no real surf on offer. From this Friday afternoon, the 11th, right through to the 20th, it’s all under 3ft and mostly crossed up or just weak. There are a few moments of clean conditions, like Sunday afternoon the 13th, with a light offshore wind, but the swell is just too small and gutless to bother with. Even with clean conditions and a 2ft swell, the period is only 5 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not surf.

The energy in the water is consistently weak, with values hanging in the low 20s to 50s, and a lot of the time, the swell direction is coming from the S or SSE, which isn't what this break wants. It’s looking more like a paddling pool than a surf spot. That Sunday the 20th morning does go glassy with the wind dropping to zero, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft at 6 seconds. It’s flat, mate.

We finally see a bit of a bump in energy around Monday the 21st, with the combined energy climbing to 59, but the size is still only 3ft with a short period. That trend continues into the 22nd and 23rd, with the 23rd showing the most promise. On Wednesday morning the 23rd, we’ve got a 2ft swell from the SE with a period of 10 seconds and the energy reading is 96. Still not big, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The wind is a strong cross-off from the NE at 22 mph, which will be a bit of a battle, but it’ll at least keep the faces clean. This is the standout of the whole run, but I wouldn’t get too excited.

The rest of the month just fades back into the same small, weak pattern. It’s not until the 25th that we see the wind go glassy again, but the swell is still only 1ft. So, the takeaway is this: get the kayak out, or just give it a miss. The 23rd is the only day that might be worth a paddle, and even then, it’s a long shot. I’d keep the expectations low, but hey, forecasts can change.

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.
