The Lowdown
Alright folks, strap in, because it’s a bit of a flat, frustrating stretch ahead for Fenway Beach. The first couple of days are a total scratch – tiny, messy, cross-onshore slop with hardly any push. You’ll be staring at dribble on Saturday and Sunday, with weak energy readings (80 and 56) and nothing but whitecaps to show for it. The kind of weekend you sleep in and fix the dings.
We get a little bump of energy early next week, but it’s not going to save us. On Monday the 3rd, the swell tries to pick up to about 4ft, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (196 and 302), but it's wind-blown and rainy. The cross-onshore wind is going to chop it all up. Not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.
Then there’s a tiny window on Tuesday morning, the 4th. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore, and the ocean goes clean. Swell is around 4ft from the south with an 8-second period – lumpy, but rideable. It’s a 1/10 score, but honestly, it’s the only clean waves we see for a while. Don’t expect much, but if you’ve got an hour, it’s something.
After that, we slide back into the doldrums. The rest of the first week and into the second week is just onshore junk and weak swell, with the energy sitting in the weak range most of the time. There are a few windows where the onshore wind drops – like Wednesday morning the 12th with a light north offshore and about 3ft of swell, and Friday morning the 14th with a gentle offshore and only 1ft – but the swell is too small to do anything with. You’re scratching for knee-high dribble.
The most interesting day on the board is Saturday the 15th. We get a bit of a pulse back, 3ft from the south with an 8-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. It’s still small and won’t be a classic, but it’s the cleanest surf of the whole run. It’s a promise, not a guarantee – long-range stuff can change.
The long-range window on the 16th shows a longer period swell (11 seconds) but from the east-southeast, which isn’t ideal, and it’s only 1ft. Not worth the paddle.
All in all, this is a rough 16-day outlook. The only real nod goes to Tuesday morning the 4th for the clean conditions, and Saturday the 15th for the slightly better combo of size and wind. Keep your expectations low, and maybe tune the kite gear up – some of those afternoons with 15-18 mph southwesterly winds and lumpy cross-onshore surf are way more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
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.
