The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at this forecast and it's a tough stretch. We’ve got a 16-day window but the first week is a real struggle. The surf is small, the wind is generally messy, and the quality is just not there. We’re looking at a long gap before anything really worth paddling out for shows up.
For the first few days, from Friday the 24th through to the middle of the following week, it's mostly tiny, weak waves with onshore or cross-shore winds. The water is sitting at about 67°F right now, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year – about 3°F cooler, so you’ll want a decent suit.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, the 30th of July. Thursday afternoon, we get a little bump of energy. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SSE, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 267 (moderate wave energy), and the wind swings offshore from the North. That offshore wind is the key – it’ll clean things right up. This is your best bet for the whole forecast period, but it's still a modest swell.
Then there's another gap. We get a few days of smaller, onshore junk again. Monday the 3rd of August has a little pulse of energy in the morning (3ft, 9 seconds, 149 energy), but it's onshore wind, so it’s messy. The afternoon of that day gets glassy with 3ft swell, but it’s only surfable, not great.
Looking way out to Saturday the 8th of August, the morning might be worth a sneaky look. The swell is 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds – that’s short period, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. But the wind is glassy, with a combined energy of 130 (moderate wave energy). It’s nothing special, but at least you won’t be fighting the wind.
So, the standout here is that Thursday afternoon, the 30th of July. It’s the only time the stars align with decent swell, a clean offshore wind, and a break (Fenway Beach) that’s a breakwater setup, so it can handle a bit of direction. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is as good as it gets in this window. The rest of the time, it's either too small, too windy, or too onshore to bother with.
Remember, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. It’s not uncommon for this area, but don’t give up hope – forecasts can change.
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.
