The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet stretch for waves. The first proper session that’s even worth a mention doesn’t roll around until Thursday the 23rd of July. Before that, we’re looking at a lot of small, weak, and messy conditions. From Friday the 17th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, it’s a write-off: tiny swells, onshore winds, and a fair bit of chop. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
The one standout – and I’m using the term loosely – is Thursday morning the 23rd of July at Fenway Beach. We’ve got a 4ft swell coming from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate at 308. Now, the real winner here is the wind: coming from the west at 9 mph, it’s a cross-offshore breeze, which should keep the surface clean. The surf report says “expect good surf conditions,” so this is your best window. It’s a beginner-friendly breakwater spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but keep in mind it can get crowded sometimes. This swell is fine for beginners, not too big.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Friday the 24th has a brief moment of glassy conditions on the morning, with a tiny 2ft SE swell, but the energy is weak (81) and it’s just surfable, nothing special. Then we hit another dry spell right through to the end of the month and into the start of August. There’s a couple of mornings with clean wind and small swell, like Tuesday the 28th and Thursday the 30th, but the wave heights are all under 3ft and the energy is low. Nothing to get excited about.
So, if you’re keen, the only call to make is Thursday morning the 23rd. It’s not pumping, but it’s the cleanest and most promising of the lot. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly a waiting game.

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.
