Fenway Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the 16-day picture for Fenway Beach. Honestly, I've got to be straight with you: it's a grim stretch for the vast majority of the forecast. From the start of the period on the 3rd of August right through to the 14th, the conditions are just plain ugly. We're looking at a solid 12-day gap of nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is constantly onshore, the swell is often messy, and the combined energy is almost always in the low to moderate range, like 14 to 993, which means weak, choppy lines. It's a long, flat spell for Fenway Beach.

The only moment that even looks like a real surf session in the whole 16 days is the afternoon of the 15th of August. Finally, we get a bit of a break. The wind swings around to the NNW, blowing offshore at 15 mph, which is exactly what we need to clean things up. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the S, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 138, so it's not going to be powerful, but for the first time, the conditions are actually clean. The waves are described as "surfable" but "very ordinary." For a break that's a breakwater, fairly exposed to the S swell, and with a WSW optimum direction, this is the best we're going to get. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but with the swell at 4 ft, it's fine for all levels. You'll be sharing the water with the crew, as crowds are "sometimes" an issue. It's not a standout, but it's the only game in town.

After that, the 16th sees a glassy morning with a tiny 3 ft swell, but it's just too small to get excited about. The rest of the period fades back into the same onshore, flat pattern. So, if you're desperate, pencil in the 15th of August afternoon. Otherwise, it's a blank run, and honestly, for this area, that's not unusual.
