The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Fenway Beach is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead, but I’m looking at a whole lot of nothing. The first surfable day worth mentioning isn’t for a while, and even then, it’s a struggle. There’s a big gap of weak, choppy, and poor conditions stretching from now right through the middle of the month.
Kicking off Friday, August 7th, we’ve got tiny 3 ft swell from the south, with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind is cross-onshore, the energy is weak (54), and it’s just poor. This same sad story repeats day after day. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are more of the same – 2 ft to 3 ft of sloppy, short-period swell, with moderate cross-onshore winds making a mess of it. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The whole first week is a write-off. We get a few glimpses of cleaner conditions, but the swell is too small to do anything with. On Friday, August 14th, the morning shows a clean window with a light cross-offshore wind, but the swell is only 2 ft and the energy is still weak (60). It’s a tease.
The real kicker? There’s absolutely no standout session in this entire forecast. The best we get is a slight bump in energy around Wednesday, August 19th, when the swell picks up to 4 ft from the ESE, with moderate energy (110). But the wind is howling cross-onshore at 15 mph, making it choppy and poor. The period is a short 5 to 6 seconds, so not much shape to it. For a breakwater spot like Fenway Beach, that’s just a messy, frustrating day.
With the wind and the poor wave quality, the setup here honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those gusty afternoons. Don’t get your hopes up, folks. It’s a long, flat, and choppy run. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d find something else to do.
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.
