The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty grim run ahead. The forecast is showing a real flat spell for this breakwater, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at a bit of a nippy 68°, which is a good bit colder than what we'd normally expect for this time of year, so you'll be wanting a thicker suit.
The first proper chance at anything even close to a surf is on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. We'll see a small 5ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds and a moderate combined wave energy of 286. It's a marginal call, with a cross-onshore wind that'll bump it up a bit. Not great, but it's the best we've got early on.
Then we've got a bit of a lull through the end of July and into the start of August. There's a small window on the morning of Saturday the 1st of August. Swell is a tiny 3ft from the south, 8-second period, with a weak 103 energy. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, which is a positive, but the waves are just ordinary. You might get a few ankle-snappers, but don't expect much.
The only real standout, and I'm using that term loosely, is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the south, but it's glassy. Absolute glass. The wind is a whisper from the SSE at 3 mph. The water will be like a mirror. The problem is the swell is super weak, with only 48 energy. It's a long shot for a wave, but if you've got a longboard and some patience, it might be the cleanest of a very messy bunch.
After that, it's a whole lot of nothing. The swell drops right off into the second week, with heights barely breaking 2ft and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. It's a long, dry run from the 4th of August right through to the end of the forecast on the 11th of August, with no real surf to speak of.
This is just one of those periods where the ocean is having a rest. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of it, to be honest.
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.
