Fenway Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down Fenway Beach.

This forecast is a real bummer for the first chunk. From July 11th right through the 19th, it’s basically a flat spell. We’re talking tiny swell, mostly under 2 feet, coming from the south and southeast with short, weak periods. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is low – like 40 or 25. It’s all labeled as poor surf conditions. You’ll be looking at small, choppy slop. We get a few clean-looking windows with cross-offshore wind, but there’s just no wave energy to make it worthwhile. It’s a long, dry stretch.

We finally get a pulse on July 20th, Monday morning. The swell hits about 4 feet from the east with a 6-second period, and the combined energy bumps to 116. It’s not pumping, but it’s the first time we see a "surfable waves" note. The wind is glassy – dead calm – which is a huge win for clean, smooth faces. That’s your best bet for the first week. By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore and messes it up, so hit it early.

The next real hope comes on July 25th, Saturday morning. The swell is 5 feet from the SSE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 412. That’s a solid moderate swell. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is a standout, but it’s over a week away, so take it with a grain of salt. The real gem looks like July 26th, Sunday afternoon: 5 feet from the SSE, 9-second period, combined energy of 352, and the wind is offshore. That’s the best-looking window in the whole 16 days – a "expect good surf conditions" call. Again, it’s a long-range hope, so keep an eye on it.

Water temp at the start is about 65°F, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year.

If you’re a beginner, that 5-foot swell on the 25th and 26th might be a bit much. For the rest of the time, it’s mostly small and weak. Don’t expect much until that last weekend.

Rusty out.
