The Lowdown

Listen up, folks. Fenway Beach is lookin' grim for the next 16 days. This breakwater spot is exposed to the south, and it's just not giving us anything. The water's a bit colder than usual for August, sittin' at 68°.

The whole thing starts on Saturday, August 1st, and it's a dud. Tiny 2ft of southern swell, a short 8-second period, and that cross-on wind from the SSW at 12 mph is making it choppy and worthless. The energy is weak (77).

Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are total washouts. Sunday has a pathetic 1ft with onshore wind, and Monday sees a jump in height to 7ft – 7ft, but it's hammered by heavy rain and a fresh, lumpy cross-on wind. The energy hits 1166 on Monday afternoon, but it's useless for paddling; it's more of a kiteboarding setup than anything else.

There's one little window. Tuesday morning, August 4th. The wind goes glassy out of the WNW at just 3 mph, with a clean 5ft south swell and an 8-second period. The energy is moderate at 246. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not a classic, but it's the only clean wave you're gonna get in this whole forecast. That's your standout.

After that? Forget it. From Tuesday afternoon all the way to Sunday, August 16th, it's a two-week dead zone. The swell bounces between 1ft and 6ft, but the wind is always cross-on or onshore, the periods are a short 6 to 7 seconds, and the energy is mostly weak. A couple of mornings, like Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th, look clean, but the swell is only 2ft and 4ft – not enough to get excited about.

So, if you're itching for a paddle, your only real chance is Tuesday morning, August 4th. Otherwise, this stretch of coast is on a bad run. It happens around here sometimes. Stay tuned, because things can always turn around.

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.
