The Lowdown
Alright, let’s give this a look.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Fenway Beach is a tough one. The forecast just doesn’t want to give us anything worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a long stretch with hardly any wave energy, and it’s going to be a real test of patience. The first recommendation pops up on Friday the 11th, but the surf is weak and messy straight through to the end.
Kicking off Friday morning the 11th, we’ve got a tiny 2-foot S swell with a short 6-second period. The combined swell energy is a measly 33 (weak), and it’s labeled as "poor surf conditions." The wind is a cross-off from the NW at 9 mph, which helps keep the surface clean, but there’s just no power behind it. It’s really not worth getting wet for.
The whole weekend and into the following week is flat and poor. That pattern holds through the 21st. Monday the 22nd shows a little blip of hope – a 3-foot ESE swell with an 8-second period, pushing the combined energy up to 105 (moderate). But the wind from the east at 12 mph is creating a cross-chop, so the quality is shot. Still not a goer.
The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on Friday the 25th. The afternoon shows a 2-foot S swell – that’s not huge, but look at the period: a solid 11 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy jumps to 163 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-off from the NNE at 9 mph, and the report says "clean." Given how bad everything else is, this Friday the 25th afternoon is the best you’ll get. It’s a little tidy wave for a longboard or a fun fish, but don’t expect any barrels.
There is another pulse on Saturday the 26th morning, with a 3-foot SSE swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy hits 256 (strong). But the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the WSW at 19 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. That’s going to make it a messy, bumpy ride. Only for the dedicated.
So here’s the bottom line: we’ve got a big, quiet gap with nothing for days. The only pockets of life are the afternoon of Friday the 25th. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, save your energy. Forecasts can change though, and Fenway Beach is fairly consistent, so don’t give up hope just yet.
Stay patient, mates.

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.
