The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, looking at this 16-day window for Fenway Beach, it's a bit of a tough one. The forecast is pretty flat and frankly, most of the time it's just not going to be worth paddling out. The combined energy is weak, rarely cracking triple digits, and the swell direction is all over the place, never really matching what Fenway would prefer from the southeast. There's a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about at all.
The first real hint of something happening, and I mean just a hint, comes around Sunday the 19th. The morning is a write-off with a fresh cross-wind making a mess of things, but the afternoon shows a bit of promise. The swell is picking up to about 6ft from the SSW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits a moderate 683. The wind swings cross-offshore from the NW, which should clean things up nicely. This is a bigger swell, though – over 5ft – so it's getting a bit too much for the beginners. For the more experienced crew, this Sunday afternoon is the standout of the whole period, but it's still marginal, just a one-off window.
After that, it's back to small, weak, and often choppy conditions. The next time we see a clean window is Wednesday morning the 22nd. The swell is smaller, only 3ft from the south with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is a low 97. But the wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, making it glassy. The waves will be small and weak, but if you're really desperate and have a longboard, it might be surfable, but just barely.
The second week is a desert. From Thursday the 23rd all the way through to the end of the month on the 30th, the swell is tiny, barely reaching 3ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-on. There are a couple of glassy mornings on the 28th and 29th, but the swell is only 2ft and 1ft respectively. It's flat, it's flat, and then it's flat again. Don't bother.
So, to sum it up: the only real window for a surf is the afternoon of Sunday the 19th, and even that is a marginal, one-day wonder. The rest of the 16 days is a long stretch of tiny, messy waves that aren't going to give you anything worthwhile. It's a quiet spell, but that's Fenway for you sometimes.
Rusty out.

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.
