The Lowdown
Let’s be straight with you. The surf for the next couple of weeks at Fenway Beach is about as exciting as watching paint dry. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing to start, and that flat spell is going to drag on for a good week or so. There just isn’t any swell on the horizon, and what little there is looks like mush.
The first time we see a pulse of real size is on Sunday the 13th. A south-southwest windswell pushes in, getting up to about 6 feet by the afternoon. But it’s got a short period of only 6 seconds and it’s coming with onshore wind. It’s going to be lumpy, raw, and blown out. The energy is there, hitting a solid 240, but the quality is zero. That’s not a surf day, that’s a “watch it from the car” day.
After that, it’s straight back to the flatness. The following week is a total loss. We’re talking dribbly waves under 3 feet, with light winds and not a bit of push. There’s a glimmer of hope on Tuesday the 19th, when a touch of east-southeast groundswell shows. It’s only up to 2 feet, but it’s carrying an 11-second period and the wind is offshore. It’ll be clean, but absolutely tiny, and then it’s gone again, leaving us with the cross-shore chop.
For a beginner, even the best of this is too small to bother with. For everyone else, just don’t. The water temp is right around 69°, which is normal for the season, so at least you won’t freeze while you watch the flatness. It’s a bleak stretch, plain and simple. This breakwater setup just isn’t going to give you anything. With the wind and the tiny, weak swell, it’s more of a kiteboarding corner than a surf break for the vast majority of this period. Don’t hold your breath. It’s a waiting game, and the surf isn’t coming.

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.
