The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Fenway Beach. It’s a pretty grim run, to be honest – we’ve got a long stretch with hardly anything worth paddling out for.
The only real glimmer of surfable waves comes right at the start, on Tuesday morning, 4th August. We’ve got a waist-high 4ft swell rolling in from the south, with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 216, so there’s a bit of push there. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – a bit of a shock to the system. But the real kicker is the glassy conditions with that light WSW wind at just 3 mph. It’s going to be clean as a whistle. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so it’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only window we’ve got that’s remotely rideable. The break is a beginner-friendly breakwater, fairly exposed to the swell, and can get crowded sometimes, so expect a few other keen souls out there.
After that Tuesday morning session, it all goes south. From Tuesday afternoon, 4th August, right through to the afternoon of 19th August, the forecast is basically a no-go zone. That’s a gap of over two weeks of poor surf conditions. The wind swings onshore or cross-onshore, picking up to 9-19 mph, and the swell drops to knee-high or less with periods as short as 5 or 6 seconds – just messy, choppy, and blown out. The combined energy drops way down, often below 100, meaning there’s just no power in the water. There’s a couple of brief glassy mornings on the 13th and 17th of August, but the swell is tiny (2ft to 2ft), so it’s not worth the effort.
Even the last day in the window, Wednesday morning, 19th August, shows a 5ft swell from the SSW, but with onshore winds at 19 mph, it’s going to be a lumpy, ugly mess. The combined energy jumps to 196, but the wind will just trash it. For a beach and breakwater setup like this, that’s more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle guys.
Bottom line: if you want a surf, make it Tuesday morning, 4th August. Otherwise, save your energy and wait for the next forecast.

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.
