Alright, grab a coffee, I’m Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the Fenway Beach outlook for the next couple weeks. Honestly, right now it's a proper quiet spell. We've got a long stretch of days where the surf just isn’t doing us any favours, mostly small and weak with a lot of chop and onshore winds spoiling things. From this Saturday, 11th July, all the way through to Monday, 20th July, it's pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, often under 2 feet, with really short periods (4 to 7 seconds) and hardly any energy behind it. There's one morning, Saturday 18th July, that gets completely glassy with no wind, but the swell is only 1 feet, so it’s barely worth paddling out for unless you just want to sit there. So yeah, that’s a solid nine or ten days of nothing to get excited about.
Now, things start to change as we head toward the second week. Tuesday, 21st July, we finally see a pulse of size come through. The morning kicks off with a 7 foot swell from the SSE, with moderate energy. Winds are cross-shore and light, so there’s a slight chop but nothing nasty. That afternoon, it really winds up to 8 feet from the SE, with strong energy, but the wind turns cross-onshore, making it a bit messy. That swell size is getting up there, over 8 feet, so this is strictly for the experts only – beginners, stay on the sand.
The real standout, the one I’d circle on your calendar, is Saturday, 25th July. That morning we’ve got a solid 7 foot swell from the south, period up to 9 seconds, and the energy is very strong. Winds are light and cross-offshore, so the face should be clean and lined up. It’s a bit big for beginners at over 6 feet, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the best on offer. The afternoon cleans up even more with 7 feet from the south, light offshore breeze, and strong energy. That’s the session to aim for.
Sunday, 26th July, drops back to a 5 foot south swell, but the wind swings onshore, so it’s gonna be a bit of a bumpy ride. Nothing to write home about.
So, bottom line: the first week is a dead loss. Hold out for that 25th July, with the south swell and clean conditions – that’s your best bet. As for the water temp, it’s about average for this time of year, nothing to mention.
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.
