The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Fenway Beach. I’m gonna be straight with you – this 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s no standout session, and most of the time you’ll be staring at flat, chopped-up, or just plain ordinary waves. The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Thursday morning, July 23rd, and even then it’s marginal.
The first week has a few moments where it’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Thursday morning, July 23rd, we’ve got a 4ft south swell creeping in with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 187. The wind is a glassy 3 mph from the NNE, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The rest of that day and the next few days are a write-off – poor conditions with onshore winds and small, weak swell.
We get a little blip on Tuesday morning, July 28th. The swell is 5ft from the SE, period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (136). The wind is a light 3 mph from the west, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. It’s a decent size for a beginner spot, but with that short period, it’s not going to have much punch. Still, if you’re desperate, that’s your best bet for a cleanish wave. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
After that, it’s another long stretch of poor conditions. The swell stays small, under 3ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making everything choppy. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday morning, August 5th, with a glassy 2ft swell from the south, but the energy is weak (41) and the period is a short 6 seconds. It’s barely surfable.
The long-range outlook into the second week (August 6th and 7th) is even worse. We’re looking at 2ft to 2ft swells with onshore winds. Honestly, it’s a blank run. The surf just isn’t there. The setup here is a breakwater, so it’s not a typical beach break, but with these tiny, weak swells and poor wind, it’s a tough call. For a few of those afternoons with stronger cross-onshore winds and a bit of swell, this spot might actually look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So, to sum it up: there’s no real standout. The best you can hope for is a quick, clean, ordinary session on Thursday morning, July 23rd, or Tuesday morning, July 28th. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of the window.
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.
