The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a good look at what’s coming for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, long run of flat, poor conditions that drags on from now right through most of the period. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, and no sign that'll help the waves any.
The first whisper of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Sunday the 13th, and even then it’s barely a ripple. On the Sunday afternoon, we get a little bump of 3ft from the SSE with a short 5-second period. The combined energy is weak at 129, and it’s messy, but at least the wind is off from the NNW, giving us a clean surface. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That’s the best you’ll find in the first week, and it’s not saying much.
After that, we’re right back into the doldrums. Nothing but flat, poor surf from Monday the 14th all the way through until Tuesday the 22nd. That’s a solid 8-day gap with no recommendations, just weak windswells and choppy, messy conditions.
Now, if you’re a patient sort, there is a glimmer of hope near the very end. On Wednesday the 23rd, we finally see a pulse of energy. The afternoon brings a solid 7ft swell from the SE, pushing the combined energy up to a strong 410. The period is still short at 7 seconds, but the wind swings to a gentle offshore from the NNW. That means clean waves. It’s expert territory at that size though – 7ft is a handful for anyone not on their game. This is the standout of the whole outlook, but it’s over a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
Thursday the 24th might still offer something, with a 4ft swell and glassy conditions in the afternoon, but the energy drops right back to moderate at 156.
Honestly, aside from that one Wednesday afternoon, this is a lean run. For a breakwater spot like Fenway Beach, a blank spell this long isn't unusual, so don't lose hope – forecasts can change, but for now, keep your board in the car for the 23rd.

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.
