The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s brewing for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. For the first week, from Monday the 10th right through to Sunday the 16th of August, the surf is going to be a write-off. It’s just not happening. The waves are tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the conditions are listing as poor. You’d be wasting your time paddling out. We’re talking a solid seven-day gap with nothing worth recommending.
Things finally tick over into something rideable on Monday the 17th of August. The morning shows some life, with a south swell pushing in around 4 ft, but it’s a short period windswell at 8 seconds. Combined wave energy is moderate at 160. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean up. It’s still pretty ordinary, but you could get a few. The afternoon goes backwards though, with onshore wind and poor conditions again.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and messy through the rest of that week. The swell drops right off, and we’re looking at tiny waves, mostly under 3 ft, with a mix of onshore or cross-shore winds. Tuesday the 25th of August morning is worth a mention – the swell jumps back up to 4 ft from the southwest, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate at 121. It’s not perfect, but compared to the rest of this run, it’s the best you’re going to get.
So, the standout here is really Monday the 17th of August morning. That’s your best chance for a surf. The other half-decent window is Tuesday the 25th of August morning. That one is promising, but it’s a long way off, so don’t get your hopes up too much just yet.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Stay patient.

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.
