The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get real about your local stretch for the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a short run of workable, clean waves kicking off mid-week, but after that, it’s a long, flat spell. The water’s sitting at 68°F at Fenway Beach, which is about 3°F cooler than what’s normal for this time of year – a bit nippier than you’d expect.

The best shot in this whole 16-day window hits Wednesday afternoon, July 29. A solid SSE swell pushes chest-high at 6ft, with a short, punchy 7-second period. Even better, the wind swings NE light at just 6 mph, giving you cross-offshore conditions that will clean that breakwater up. The combined energy hits 453 – that’s got some proper push behind it. For a beginner-friendly spot like Fenway Beach, this is as good as it gets for the whole run.

Wednesday morning before that is a step down: 4ft SSE swell but cross-shore winds at 16 mph and a nasty cross-chop. Not your one. Thursday through the weekend sees the swell fade into waist-high or smaller, mostly onshore or poor wind, with energy dropping from 231 down to 57. It’s just grim.

Then from Monday, August 3 right through to the morning of August 12, the surf is weak and disappointing. You get days of small, onshore slop, with combined energy sitting below 100 – mostly between 14 and 92. There’s a morning on August 10 where the wind goes glassy and the period stretches to 10 seconds on a 2ft SSE swell, but with energy at just 81, it’s barely a knee-high dribble. Not worth suiting up for.

After that, a little bump on August 12 morning gives you 3ft from the south at a 7-second period, clean with light offshore ENE wind at 6 mph, and energy back up to 105. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Honestly, that Wednesday afternoon window is your only true standout. The rest is a ghost town. It’s a five-to-seven-day gap of nothing worth paddling for. Hang in there – forecasts can shift, but this one’s looking lean.

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.
