The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this outlook for Fenway Beach is a tough one. The finder is basically empty of good surf recommendations, so we’re looking at a long, dry spell. There’s just no real swell on the cards that lines up with the right wind for a decent paddle. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Wednesday afternoon, 12th of August, and even then it’s barely a whisper.

The pattern overall is weak, with small swell and poor conditions dominating. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Let’s walk through it. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are a write-off—small swell, cross and cross-on winds, just choppy junk. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are even smaller, with swell under 3ft and that same messy wind. You’d be better off doing something else.

Then on Wednesday the 12th of August, we finally get a tiny window. The morning shows a little 3ft SSW swell (period 6s) with a clean cross-off wind from the WNW. Afternoon gets even better—the wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 3ft WSW swell. The combined energy is moderate (103). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Honestly, for a beginner-friendly breakwater spot like Fenway Beach, this is about as good as it gets in this stretch. It’s not a standout, just the least bad option.

Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th? Back to poor, small, and choppy. Saturday the 15th has a clean morning again with 3ft S swell (period 8s) and cross-off wind, energy moderate (95). It’s clean, but still small and weak. Sunday the 16th is tiny, 2ft.

Then from Monday the 17th of August through to the 19th, it’s tiny and clean but with swell so small it’s practically flat (0.7ft to 1ft). On the 19th, a long period 12s SE swell sneaks in (energy 109, moderate), but it’s cross-shore with light rain and still only 1ft. Not worth getting wet for.

The end of the run, around Thursday the 20th of August, brings a bit more size—4ft to 6ft SSE/SE swell (period 8s) with strong energy (229 to 472)—but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the conditions are poor. Too much chop. For a breakwater spot, this would be messy and unappealing for a paddle. Might be more interesting for kite surfing than surfing.

The last few days, 21st to 23rd of August, stay small and clean but nothing to write home about. The best of the whole period? That Wednesday afternoon, 12th of August, with the glassy conditions. It’s the only time the stars nearly align.

So, no standouts. Just a long, flat, poor run. It’s a normal situation for this area—sometimes it just doesn’t fire. Forecasts can change, but for now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.

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.
