Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew on this one, but honestly, there’s not much to chew on for a good long while. For the next week and a half, it’s a quiet, flat-to-puny stretch for Fenway Beach. We’re looking at a solid 11-day gap with no real surf to get excited about. The swell energy is weak, barely cracking into the two-digit numbers until the middle of the month, and when it does show, the conditions are messy.
The first potential glimmer comes on Sunday morning, July 19th. Finally, the surf wakes up. We’ve got a south swell pushing in at 6ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 310. What makes this one the standout is the early wind – a light breeze out of the northeast, giving us a clean, cross-offshore setup. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. This is the best on offer, but it’s still a short-period south swell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and inconsistent. With the swell height just under 6ft, it’s not a total beginner wave, but a decent fun ride for the average surfer. Crowds can be a factor here at times, so expect company if you paddle out.
Monday morning, July 20th, sees the swell size hold at 6ft, with the period stretching to 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to a strong 415, so there’s proper power in the water. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is light out of the SSW, which is a cross-onshore, and that makes for tricky, lumpy conditions. The forecast is marginal, so it’s a gamble. The swell direction is south, which doesn’t quite line up with the optimum SE direction the spot prefers. This one is really for the patient local who knows the bank.
After that, the surf slowly tapers off again through the following week, with onshores and short-period slop making it a write-off for clean surfing.
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.
