The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks. I’m gonna be honest, the outlook is pretty bleak. The finder isn’t giving us a single good recommendation, so we’re just calling it like it is. For this area, a quiet stretch like this isn’t totally out of the ordinary.
For the first week, the swell is flat. We’re talking waves between 0.3ft and 0.7ft with short periods under 10 seconds. The wave energy is super weak, barely reaching double digits. It’s a total flat spell. There is a little bump around Thursday the 10th, where the swell hits 5ft to 6ft from the SSW and the energy climbs into the moderate range (256 to 273). But the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it choppy and ugly. That’s not good for a beginner, and for the rest of us, it’s a mess. For the crew who like to get pulled, that wind and chop setup looks way more like a kite session than a paddle session.
After that, from Friday the 11th, we’re back to tiny surf between 1ft and 3ft. The wind does clean up to a nice cross-off from the NW and NE, which is a positive, but the wave energy stays low (19 to 69). The water temp is about 69°, which is normal for this time of year. The cleanest, most promising moments, if you’re itching to get wet, are the Friday morning the 11th and Tuesday afternoon the 15th. Those have light winds and clean conditions, but you’ll be riding tiny waves.
So, to wrap it up: nothing worth getting excited about for the next 16 days. This area goes through these quiet spells, and the forecast can always change, so don’t lose hope entirely. But for now, the boards are staying in the garage.
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.
