Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk waves for this region. Looking at the whole 16-day run starting July 4th, I’ll be straight with you—it’s a slow grind. There’s almost nothing worth getting wet for during the first week. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to Tuesday morning on July 8th, it’s all tiny, weak, or blown-out junk. The first time we get anything that’s even “surfable” is Wednesday morning, July 8th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.

The only break we’ve got on the map is Fenway Beach. It’s a breakwater setup, good for beginners, and it’s fairly consistent. The water temperature is about 65°F, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year—about a degree or so off the average. No big deal. The best swell direction for this spot is from the SE, but we just don’t get much of that with any punch.

The best window in this whole forecast is Wednesday morning, July 8th. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the east, period at 7 seconds—so it’s short-period wind swell, not groundswell. Combined energy is moderate at 156. But here’s the good part: the wind is offshore, blowing from the NNE at about 9 mph. That’s clean. For a spot that usually gets cross-on wind, this is a rare moment of tidy little waves. Crowds can happen sometimes, but mid-week morning you might have a bit of space. Still, it’s a beginner wave—no power.

Beyond that, there’s not much else to get excited about. We get a glassy morning on Sunday, July 12th, with only 3 ft from the south, period 8 seconds, energy low at 78. Another clean window on Monday morning, July 13th, with 2 ft from the south and offshore wind—but it’s tiny. And one more glassy one on the morning of Tuesday, July 14th: 2 ft, ESE, 8-second period, energy at 45. The conditions are beautiful, but you’ll be standing up on ankle-biters.

As we head into the second week, from July 15 onward, swell picks up a little—around 4 ft to 5 ft—but the wind turns cross-on or cross-shore and it gets choppy. Energy climbs into the 200s and even near 300 on July 18th and 19th, with 5 ft from the south at 8 seconds, but the wind is moderate cross-onshore from the SSW at around 16 mph. That’s messy. Honestly, that setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So yeah—it’s a lean run. No proper standout days. The best you get is a small, clean wave on that Wednesday morning. If you can hold off, don’t worry—forecasts shift and this area doesn’t usually stay flat for long.

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.
