The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim stretch. For the first week, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is tiny, the wind is junk, and the conditions are just poor. We’re looking at a big gap with no real recommendations until the 17th of August.
Water temp at the start is sitting at 71°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy there.
The first day that even hints at something is Monday the 17th, early. We get a bump of south swell, 4ft, with an 8-second period. The wind is light and offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate (191), so there’s some push, but the period is short, making it a bit weak and crumbly. Still, if you’re desperate, that Monday morning window is the best you’ll see in the first week. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s back to rubbish.
Then it’s another dry spell. There’s a brief moment on the 20th, Thursday morning, with glassy conditions and a knee-high 4ft south swell, but the period is still short (6 seconds) and the energy is weak (92). It’s surfable but ordinary.
After that, it’s more of the same: tiny swell, onshore or cross-shore winds, and poor quality. The 27th of August sees a little pulse of east swell pushing 4ft in the afternoon, but with onshore wind from the south, it’s going to be a mess.
The best of a bad bunch? Honestly, Monday the 17th morning is your only real shot, and even that is barely a recommendation. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off for surf.
Stay patient, it can’t stay this flat forever.

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.
