The Lowdown

Alright, fellow surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at our local window, Fenway Beach. It’s a breakwater setup, fairly exposed to the south swell, so it knows how to work when the conditions line up. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but it can get a bit busy sometimes, so expect a few folks out.

Right now, the water temp is running about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report there.

The outlook starts a bit lackluster. Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 21st is a flat, disappointing stretch. We’ve got tiny swell from the south, with a period of 7 to 8 seconds, and that cross-off breeze is just not cooperating. The waves are there, but the quality is poor. You’re looking at combined wave energy in the 50 to 120 range, which is weak. Not worth paddling out for.

Wednesday the 22nd is a weird one. The swell jumps up to 6ft to 7ft from the south, with a period of 8 to 9 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (499 to 702). But the wind is a nasty cross-onshore, and the forecast calls it poor surf. The size is actually getting into the zone where it’s too big for beginners, but the conditions are so messy, it’s really only a potential for kite surfers if anything.

Now, here’s the one true standout. Thursday morning, the 23rd of July. The wind goes light and cross-off from the NNW, just a slight air, and the surf cleans up. We’re looking at a solid 5ft south swell, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong at 525. The forecast says to expect good surf conditions. That’s the morning to get in the water. The afternoon goes onshore and ruins it, so you have to nail that early window.

From Friday the 24th onward, the swell drops back down to 3ft or less, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on. The energy dips into the weak to moderate range (under 290). The rest of the period through the end of July and into the first week of August is just a run of poor surf and small, choppy waves. There’s another morning on the 3rd of August with glassy conditions, but only 2ft of swell, which is barely surfable.

So, the honest truth is this: the only real window you’ve got is Thursday morning, the 23rd. If you can make that, you’ll get some clean, punchy waves on the south swell. Otherwise, the next 16 days are mostly a write-off. It’s a blank run for the area, but the forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
