The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about Fenway Beach.

Honestly, it's a pretty grim run for the next little while. The pattern is locked into a real flat spell, and we're looking at a long stretch of days where it's just not worth paddling out. From now until the end of July, the swell is tiny—mostly around 2 ft to 3 ft with a weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is barely registering, sitting between 34 and 148 (weak to moderate energy), but the wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore, making it choppy and messy. There's a few mornings with glassy conditions, like Friday the 24th and Monday the 27th, but the waves are just too small and weak to do anything with—total poor surf conditions.

We finally get a little bump around the 30th and 31st of July. On Thursday morning the 30th, the swell picks up to 3 ft from the south with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 148 (moderate). The wind is light and cross, so it's not completely blown out. Then on Friday morning the 31st, we get a clean morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE and a 3 ft south swell. The energy is still decent at 111 (moderate). The wave report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and honestly, that's the best we've got. It's not a standout, but it's the one window where you might get a few grovelly ones if you're desperate.

After that, it drops back into the doldrums. The first week of August is a write-off—tiny, weak, and choppy. The swell tries to show up again around the 6th of August, with a 5 ft SSW swell on Thursday afternoon, but it's cross-onshore and messy with a risk of thunderstorms. The energy is 115 (moderate), but the quality is poor.

Now, here's the one thing that catches my eye, but it's a long way off. On Friday morning, August 7th, the forecast shows a 5 ft SSW swell with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 403 (strong energy). The wind is glassy, dead calm out of the SW. The report says "expect good surf conditions." That's a solid pulse of swell, and with glassy conditions, Fenway Beach could clean up nicely. But that's over a week away, so treat it as promising but not locked in. For a beginner-friendly breakwater like Fenway, 5 ft is pushing the upper limit of fun, but it won't be a washing machine. Just keep an eye on it.

So, the short story: don't bother until the 31st of July for a very marginal session, and the real hope is the morning of August 7th if the forecast holds.

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.
