The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down for Fenway Beach. Gotta be honest with you—it’s a rough outlook. We’ve got some swell, but the wind and conditions are gonna make you work for anything worth riding. Water temp is running 19°, that’s about 2° colder than usual, so you’ll feel it—don’t forget the thick rubber.

Starting off, Tuesday the 21st through Wednesday the 23rd is a mess. Rain, southerly winds blowing 12–15 mph, and the swell energy hits 931 (moderate) early Wednesday but that cross-onshore wind is just wrecking it. Choppy, lumpy, not worth the hassle.

Thursday the 23rd morning offers a tiny window: 4ft S swell, 8-second period, light NE cross-off breeze making things clean. Energy is 230 (moderate). It’s still pretty ordinary, but you might find a couple if you drop your standards. The swell is coming from the south, not the preferred SE, so it’s not lining up well.

From Friday the 24th to Sunday the 27th, the swell goes small—under 3ft, energy below 100 (weak). Even Sunday morning the 26th with glassy conditions and barely any wind can’t fix the lack of push. Not worth paddling out.

Tuesday the 28th morning brings a pulse: 6ft S swell, energy at 459 (moderate), but with heavy rain and 18 mph south wind blowing straight onshore—total mess. The afternoon cleans up with a west cross-off and 5ft S swell but it’s still marginal.

Wednesday the 29th morning is clean with NW cross-off, but the swell is back to 3ft. Surfable but nothing special.

The rest of the run into early August is tiny. Energy is mostly under 100. Saturday morning the 1st of August sees a NE cross-off with 4ft S swell and clean conditions, but short 8-second period and the wrong direction again.

Truth is, there’s no real standout session. The best you get is a very average wave on a clean morning. For beginners, there’s nothing over 5ft that’s rideable with decent wind. For everyone else, it’s just not worth the effort. This is a fairly exposed breakwater, but with poor wind and mostly off-direction swell, it won’t come together. Honestly, if the wind keeps blowing south, this might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Keep an eye on the forecast, 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.
