The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. It’s a tough stretch ahead for us at Fenway Beach. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak, to be honest. We’ve got a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about.
Right now, and for the first week, the swell is tiny and weak. On Tuesday the 21st, we’re looking at a meager 3 ft of south swell with a short, weak period of 7 seconds and energy levels barely registering (77). The wind is onshore, making an already poor situation worse. The water is a chilly 66°, which is a solid 4° colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick suit.
The pattern doesn’t improve much. Wednesday the 22nd sees a bump in size to 7 ft, and the energy jumps up (507), but it’s a messy, cross-onshore wind that will turn it into a lumpy, choppy mess. Thursday morning the 23rd offers a brief glimmer: a clean 5 ft swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. It’s the best we’ll see for a while, but it’s still not special. The rest of that week and into the next just fades away into tiny, weak, and often onshore conditions.
We have a long gap with almost nothing rideable until Monday the 3rd of August. That morning, we get a pulse of 5 ft south swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is decent (363). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west, promising clean conditions. It’s the standout of the whole forecast, but it’s over a week away and not a massive swell. It’s your best bet, but don’t hold your breath. After that, it drops straight back to tiny, weak surf for the rest of the forecast.
Overall, it’s a real flat spell. Hang your boards up for a bit.
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.
