The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the outlook for Fenway Beach. Gotta be honest, it’s a rough stretch. We’re looking at a long gap with next to nothing worth paddling for.
Kicking off Saturday the 25th, it’s a total no-go. Tiny swell at 3ft from the SE, period only 7 seconds, and the wind is side and side-on all day. Water temp is 67°, a bit cooler than normal for July. The combined energy is a weak 60 – just no power. Poor conditions.
Sunday the 26th morning gives us a little hope, but it’s faint. A clean 3ft swell from the ESE with light offshore wind. The energy climbs to 158, which is moderate, but the waves are just ordinary. You could get a few, but it’s not exciting. Afternoon turns side-on and drops off.
Monday the 27th morning is glassy, but the swell is only 2ft. Energy is down to 45. It’s flat and clean, but not surfable.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Monday afternoon through the end of July, it’s all poor surf, tiny waves, and messy wind. The energy readings are mostly in the double digits or low triple digits, and the swell never reaches 3ft. There’s a morning on Thursday the 30th with 3ft and clean conditions, energy at 151, but the wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” It’s just not happening.
Heading into August, things don’t turn around. The first week is a graveyard of small, onshore, or choppy junk. The highest energy we see is 171 on Tuesday the 4th afternoon, but that’s with 3ft and moderate offshore wind – clean, but still just ordinary.
The best chance you’ll get is Wednesday the 5th, August. Morning brings a 4ft swell from the S, period 8 seconds, with offshore winds from the NNW at 12 mph. The energy is 158, moderate, and the waves are surfable and clean. That’s your window. It’s not big, but the offshore wind will make it look decent.
After that, it’s back to junk. The rest of the second week is small, weak, and windblown. By Sunday the 9th, the swell period drops to 4-5 seconds, and the energy is a pathetic 26. That’s barely a ripple.
Bottom line: Wednesday the 5th morning is the only real surfable window. Everything else is a bust. For most of this stretch, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Stash the board and wait for a better forecast.
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.
