The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Fenway Beach.

Right now, the next 16-days are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some clean, small surf kicking things off, but then a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions before things finally start looking up again. Overall, the energy is mostly weak to moderate for the first week, with that combined energy reading mostly under 200 (moderate wave energy) for most of that time.

We start on Thursday the 30th of July with a small SSE swell at 3 ft, period of 9 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE at 12 mph. It’s surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary. Energy is moderate (180). Friday the 31st is where we get our first real standout. The morning is looking mint – glassy conditions with a slight air from the W at just 3 mph, and clean 3 ft waves from the SSE. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. That Friday morning session is the one to aim for if you want a clean, easy-going paddle. The energy is low (104), but with those conditions, who cares?

After that, things go downhill. From Friday afternoon and right through to the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. We’re talking onshore winds, mainly from the S and SSW, with messy, choppy conditions. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy drops right off, often below 100 (weak wave energy). There’s a few days with light cross-shore winds, but the wave quality is still rated poor. It’s a good time to tune your board or just take a break.

Now, the second week has some real potential, even if it’s a bit further out. On Sunday the 9th of August morning, things wake up. We’ve got a nice 4 ft SSE groundswell with a long period of 12 seconds, making for some proper, powerful lines. The wind is a light offshore cross-off from the NE at 6 mph, and conditions are clean. Energy jumps up to 525 (strong wave energy). This is a standout window. That long period will mean longer lulls between sets, so the paddle out should be easier, but the waves themselves will have some punch. For the afternoon, conditions get a little more marginal, but the morning is a winner.

Monday the 10th through Thursday the 13th keeps a decent swell running—mostly 4 ft to 6 ft from the S and SSE, with periods of 11 to 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. Energy readings for these days are strong, hitting 839 on the morning of the 12th. However, the wind is a bit of a letdown, with cross-shore or cross-onshore breezes most of the time. The wave quality is described as marginal or poor, so it won’t be as clean as the Sunday morning. This size, over 5 ft, might be a bit much for the beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’ll be interesting, especially with that long-period energy. It’s a bit of a gamble on the wind.

So, here’s the call: if you want the cleanest, most fun waves, hit Friday morning the 31st of July for that glassy, small stuff. If you’re after more size and power, mark your calendar for Sunday morning the 9th of August—that’s the one with the best combo of decent swell and clean winds. Crowds are a possibility there, so get out early.

Stay frothy.

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.
