Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: this Fenway Beach outlook is a tough one. The finder is showing zero good surf options across the entire 16-day window. That’s a pretty blank run, but for a breakwater setup like this, it’s not unusual when the swell and wind refuse to line up. We’ve got a few moments where the conditions are “surfable” but nothing to get excited about. The long-range is uncertain, but let’s hope the forecasts change.
Right now, the first real chance of anything rideable is on Sunday, July 19th. The afternoon sees a 4ft SSE swell with a period of 6 seconds – that’s short-period, weak stuff. But the wind goes offshore from the north at 15 km/h, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The combined energy is 104 (moderate). It’s clean, but there’s not much push. The morning of Monday, July 20th, is actually the most interesting by far. You’ll have a 3ft S swell, period of 7 seconds, combined energy of 80 (weak), but the wind is glassy – absolutely still from the SW at 5 km/h. That’s a major positive. It’s clean, glassy, and for a beginner-friendly break, that’s your best bet. Water temp is 66°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year (anomaly of -2°), so bring a thicker wettie.
After that, it’s all downhill. The rest of the week and into the second week (from July 21st through July 28th) is mostly poor surf with cross-onshore or onshore winds, weak swell under 4ft, and short periods. The only other mention of “surfable” is on July 20th afternoon, but that’s a 5ft S swell with period of 9 seconds and onshore wind – combined energy is 306 (strong), but it’s messy and onshore, so it’s not a recommendation. For the entire second week, the swell drops off to tiny (1ft to 3ft) with cross or onshore wind and combined energy mostly under 100. Honestly, nothing to write home about.
The standout is clearly Monday morning, July 20th – glassy conditions, clean faces, and the only time the wind is truly your friend. Crowds at Fenway Beach are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others with the same idea. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so it tends not to stay poor for long, but this window is a lean one. For the rest, you’re better off waiting for a new swell.
Stay patient. 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.
