The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you right off the bat: the next 16 days are a tough watch for Fenway Beach. I’ve scanned the whole run and to be honest, there’s nothing that gets the blood pumping. We’ve got a long stretch of marginal to poor conditions, with wind and swell never quite lining up. The water temperature is sitting at 67°F, which is a solid 4°F colder than usual for this time of year – that’s “much colder than normal,” so you’ll be wanting a decent wetsuit if you’re even thinking about a paddle.

The first proper glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. For a short window, the wind switches to a light northwesterly, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The swell is a small 4ft from the south, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 52, so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’s the closest we get to a decent wave. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so you’d be scratching for a few knee-high rollers. After that, it’s back into onshore junk.

There is a bit of a spike in swell around Monday the 3rd of August, with 7ft to 8ft from the south, but the wind is howling onshore and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. That’s a total no-go. The energy is moderate (507-749), but with that wind, you’d be better off looking at kite surfing than paddle surfing – the setup is a beach break, and it’ll be a washing machine.

We get another fleeting clean moment on Monday morning, the 10th of August, with a light west-northwest cross-off breeze and 4ft swell from the south-southwest. The energy is still weak (133), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s not going to hold together well. It’s “surfable but very ordinary.”

The rest of the window is a write-off. From the 5th of August right through to the 17th, it’s a long string of poor surf conditions with onshore winds, rain, and tiny, weak swell. The last few days of the forecast, around the 16th and 17th of August, the swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, with periods as low as 5-6 seconds. There’s a moment of glassy conditions on the morning of the 16th, but with a 1ft swell, it’s barely a ripple.

Bottom line: Fenway Beach is a “fairly consistent” break, so it’s a bit of a surprise to see such a blank run. The only real window to scrape a few waves is Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, and maybe Monday morning, the 10th of August. Neither is a standout, but if you’re desperate, that’s your best bet. The rest of the time, save your energy. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a tough one.

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.
