Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Fenway Beach for the next couple weeks.
It’s a dry spell. For pretty much the whole 16 days, the surf is flat or junk. Swell energy is usually weak, mostly under 100 (21 to 98), with only a few moderate spikes, but the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, ruining any chance of clean waves. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th start with tiny, choppy 0.3m to 1.0m swell from the SE and SW, short periods around 4 to 6 seconds—nothing to bother with. Wednesday the 15th afternoon gets a little better: 1.1m from the SW, cross-off wind cleaning it up, but the swell’s still weak (158 energy) and short-period. That’s about the best it gets, which ain’t saying much.
The second week stays quiet. Tuesday the 22nd afternoon sees 1.4m from the south with moderate energy (434), but the wind’s cross-onshore and choppy. Not a good look. The only stretch that’s even surfable is Saturday the 25th morning: 0.7m from the south, 8-second period, clean wind, but energy’s only 102 and waves are tiny. That’s the single highlight in two weeks.
So, Fenway Beach is a breakwater spot that’s fairly exposed to the SE, but the swell never shows up with any power or quality. Beginners might find the small stuff okay, but for anyone else, it’s a ghost town. If you’re itching to get wet, maybe the 25th morning gives you a few knee-high sliders, but that’s it.

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.
