The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The truth is, this 16-day window is a real struggle for us. The wave energy is just too small and weak to get excited about, and the wind isn't doing us any favours for most of it. It’s a long stretch of small, onshore junk.
The only spot with any real chance of a paddle is Fenway Beach. It’s a breakwater setup, so it's a bit sheltered, but it’s not a miracle worker. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year, so you might want a thicker suit.
The first few days, from Tuesday the 28th through Wednesday the 30th, are a write-off. We’re looking at onshore wind and tiny, weak swell. The combined energy barely cracks 100 (67-113) and the period is short, under 8 seconds. It’s a mess.
Thursday morning the 30th is the first real glimmer. We get a cleaner offshore wind from the NNW, the swell is a knee-high 3ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits 175. The wave comment says "ordinary," but it’s the best we’ve got. It’s a small, clean wave for a beginner to work on.
Friday the 31st might be the pick of the whole run. The morning has a gentle offshore wind from the north, clean 3ft swell from the SSE. The real standout is Friday afternoon: the wind goes glassy, completely calm, with the same 3ft SSE swell. That’s as clean as it gets. The wave energy is low (93), but if you’re on a longboard, you’ll have a smile on your face.
After that, it’s a long, painful slide into flatness. Saturday the 1st of August starts glassy with tiny 2ft waves, but then the onshore wind returns and kills it. From Sunday the 2nd all the way through to Wednesday the 12th of August, the swell is consistently under 2ft, the period is short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy drops into the single digits by the end. It’s not worth paddling out. For a break that’s only fairly consistent, this blank run is a tough one, but it happens here.
Look, if you're desperate for a paddle, aim for Friday afternoon at Fenway. Otherwise, this stretch is better suited for a surf check from the car park.

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.
