The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at Fenway Beach for the next sixteen days. I’m gonna level with you – it’s mostly a bust. We’ve got a big gap of flat, messy, or just plain weak conditions right out of the gate.

Starting Wednesday, August 12th, it’s tiny. Swell heights are 1 to 2 ft, periods a short 5–6 seconds. That’s windswill, not real groundswell. The combined swell energy is weak (13 to 29), and winds are cross or cross-on. It’s clean at times, but there’s nothing to ride. This flat, weak pattern runs right through the weekend and into early next week. Saturday the 15th morning has offshore winds but the swell is only 1.0 ft – barely a wrinkle.

The first real opportunity doesn’t come until the afternoon of Monday, August 17th. Swell hits 3 ft from the south, period still short at 6 seconds, but with light offshore winds. The combined energy climbs to 96 – moderate, finally. The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a start, but nothing special.

Then it’s back to junk for days: small, choppy, onshore winds, and low energy (32 to 89). The one true standout in the whole outlook is the morning of Friday, August 21st. Swell builds to 5 ft from the SSW, period 6 seconds, and the combined energy is 172 (moderate). Winds are clean cross-off from the NW. That’s the best wave of the forecast – decent size for this break, clean, and rideable. The water is 71°, about normal for the season.

Saturday the 22nd morning goes glassy, but the swell drops to 2 ft. Another decent chance comes on Wednesday, August 26th morning: 5 ft from the ESE, period 7 seconds, combined energy 203 (strong moderate), with clean cross-off winds. Again, just “surfable” – not epic. Thursday the 27th morning offers 4 ft from the east, clean.

For beginners, the small days on the 17th or 22nd might work, but the bigger days (5 ft on the 21st and 26th) are still under 5 ft, so they’re not intimidating. The period never gets over 8 seconds, so there’s no real power. It’s all just average. If you want to paddle out, aim for Friday the 21st or Wednesday the 26th – but keep your hopes in check.

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.
