The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough run of forecasts for Fenway Beach. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for getting a decent wave. There’s a massive gap where there’s nothing worth paddling out for, from the start of the period all the way through to the morning of the 22nd of July. That’s over a week of straight poor surf conditions.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. The wind finally swings offshore out of the northwest, cleaning up the 5ft swell from the south. The combined energy is up there at (364), which is a solid push of water, but the conditions are still “marginal” – it’s likely fat and a bit tricky with the tide. This is one for the guys who know the bank well, not a beginner session. That afternoon, the wind stays clean out of the west, with the swell dropping slightly to 5ft (326 energy). It’s the best two sessions of the whole outlook, but it’s not a standout for the masses.
After that, it’s back to the struggle. The wind goes back onshore or cross-shore, and the swell direction swings around, but the quality never comes together. The morning of the 26th of July sees another brief window of offshore wind from the northwest, with a clean 3ft south-southeast swell, but the energy is weak (100) and the wave shape will be ordinary. The swell is too inconsistent and small to get excited about.
The biggest issue here is the lack of a true standout. We never get the combination of decent size, proper direction, and clean wind all at once. The 22nd is the only real option, and I’d call it a “hope for the best” session rather than a “book the day off” session. If you’re not an expert, the 5ft on the 22nd might be a bit much for you, but it’s all we’ve got.
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.
