Alright, let’s talk about Fenway Beach. Straight up, this is one of those runs where you’re better off staying on the sand or finding something else to do. For a break that’s fairly consistent and usually holds a fun little wave for beginners, the next two weeks look pretty flat and messy. The water’s sitting at about 65°F, which is roughly 2°F colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that chill if you paddle out.
From Thursday 2 July through the whole 16-day window, the swell barely lifts above waist-high. Most days you’re looking at 1ft to 4ft of weak, short-period slop coming from the SSW or SE – nowhere near the optimum SE direction this spot likes. Combined energy values stay mostly under 100 (a pitiful 19 to 109), which tells you there’s just no push. On top of that, the wind is nearly always cross-onshore or choppy, except for a handful of clean windows.
Now, I gotta mention a couple of moments that almost got interesting. Tuesday 7 July afternoon sees 4ft from the ESE with a clean cross-off breeze – the combined energy hits 101, still weak but the cleanest it gets. Then Wednesday 8 July morning goes glassy with a slight air, but the swell drops to 3ft and period only 6 seconds – you’ll be scratching for scraps. Sunday 12 July morning also goes clean with 3ft and light cross-off wind, but again, the energy is only 92 and the swell direction is S, not the SE you want.
None of these are worth calling a standout. The swell never breaks 5ft, so beginners wouldn’t be overwhelmed, but the quality is so poor it’s not worth the paddle. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue here, but frankly, nobody is going to be out there for this. If you’re desperate, the glassy session on Wednesday 8 July morning is your best bet – tiny, weak, but at least rideable.
Bottom line: no good surf options over this 16-day stretch. Fenway Beach is usually more reliable than this, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can change, and it won’t stay flat forever. But for now, leave the board at home.

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.
