Right, let me be straight with ya – it's a bit of a flat spell comin' up for Fenway Beach. Don't get too excited, because for the first few days, there's just not much to work with. We're looking at a long gap before anything even halfway decent shows its face.

We kick off on Saturday, 4 July, and honestly, don't even bother paddlin' out. Tiny 1 ft to 2 ft swell with weak energy (21 to 31) and messy, crummy winds. The water's a bit colder than usual at 65 °F, a coupla degrees off the norm for this time of year. Nothin' to see here, move along.

Sunday 5th, Monday 6th, Tuesday 7th, it's the same sad story – small dribbles of swell, with the wind switching around but never helping. By Monday arvo, we get a little bump to 5 ft, but it's short-period junk (6 seconds) with fresh cross-shore wind tearing it apart. Moderate energy in the water (180). Still a total write-off.

Wednesday 8th morning finally gives us a tiny glimmer. We've got a clean 2 ft easterly swell with an offshore breeze. The combined energy's weak (98), and it's honestly just "surfable but ordinary." A beginner might catch a foam ball, but nobody's callin' in sick for this.

Then we hit another big dry patch. From Wednesday arvo right through to Monday 13th, it's all poor surf conditions. A mix of onshore and cross-shore winds on tiny swell. Not worth your time.

Now, here's the one moment that might get your heart beatin' – Tuesday morning, 14 July. We've got a clean 3 ft east swell with a gentle offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 125 (moderate wave energy). Conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but for Fenway Beach in this stretch, that's the best we're gonna get. It'll be small, clean, and likely crowded since it's a fairly consistent beginner spot. The optimum swell is from the SE, and this is coming from the E, so it's close enough. The short period (7 seconds) means it won't have much grunt.

After that, the last few days of the forecast are essentially flat. Wednesday 15th morning goes glassy with a 1 ft swell (41 energy), but it's so tiny it barely counts. Thursday 16th through Sunday 19th is all onshore wind or cross-shore chop on waves that wouldn't even tickle a log.

So, to sum it up: Fenway Beach is in a long, flat rut. Your one and only *maybe* chance for anything rideable is the morning of Tuesday, 14 July. It's small, clean, and for a breakwater spot, that offshore wind is a blessing. For everything else, save your wax and your petrol.

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.
