The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Fenway Beach. It’s a breakwater spot that’s fairly exposed, and it likes swell from the southeast, but what we’re getting is mostly from the south and southwest, so it’s not really working. The water temp is about 20°, which is a bit cooler than normal for this time of year, by about 2°.
We’ve got a big gap at the start – no good surf for the first few days. Saturday the 1st has a tiny 3ft swell from the south, with a short 8-second period and a light cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is a weak 80, and it’s all “poor surf conditions.” Sunday and Monday are just as bad with onshore winds and even smaller swell. Monday the 3rd kicks up a bit with 4ft swell and a fresh cross-onshore wind, making it lumpy, and the energy hits 432, but it’s still poor.
The only real chance comes on Tuesday the 4th, in the morning. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the south, still a short 8-second period, but the wind is glassy – light easterly breeze at 5 km/h. The energy is 172, and for the first time it’s marked as “surfable waves but very ordinary.” It’s not great, but it’s the best of the bunch. The swell is small, the conditions are clean, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re just learning and need a paddle, this is your window.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Wednesday the 5th right through to the end, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with tiny swell, short periods, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a little bump on Friday the 14th afternoon with 6ft swell from the south-southwest and a 6-second period, giving an energy of 303, but the wind is light cross-onshore and it’s still rated poor. The swell is too weak and short to do anything with.
So, bottom line, there’s nothing to get excited about. Tuesday morning is your only shot, and it’s still ordinary. The rest of the 16 days is a bust. Keep an eye on things, but don’t get your hopes up.

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.
