The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you’re looking for a proper surf fix on Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks, you’re going to be staring at a lot of flat, dribbly close-outs. The opening days are a write-off for anything rideable. We’re looking at a full week of nothing before we even get a pulse of energy, and even then, it’s a scrappy one.
The first half of this stretch is properly grim. From the 1st through the 7th, it’s all blown-out chop and tiny, weak waves. Swell energy is at a paltry 22 on the 1st, and it just bleeds away from there – dropping into the single digits by the 7th. You’d be better off finding a lake to paddle around on than trying to surf this. The winds are messy, too, mostly cross and cross-on, with a couple of clean windows that are too small to matter. The only bright spot in the first week is the water temp, which is about 69.3°F, running normal for this time of year.
Now, around the 8th, we finally get some life in the ocean. A pulse of SSW swell bumps the energy up to 115 on the morning, with a 3.6ft wave at 6 seconds. It’s something, but that short period means it’s all mush. The afternoon picks up a bit more juice (energy 121) but the wind swings onshore and it just gets messy. The 9th brings a strong offshore breeze – 19 mph from the NNW – and the surf cleans up, but the swell backs off to 2.3ft. It’s pretty, but gutless. That continues into the 10th and 11th, where we see glassy conditions and clean lines, but the size is still tiny, hovering around 3ft max. For a beginner, on a day like the 11th morning with a glassy surface, it would be okay for a splash, but there’s no power or push behind it.
The second week is a proper tease. The 8th is really the only day with any size, and it’s ruined by wind and short-period slop. There’s a brief clean-up on the 15th with a small 1ft wave and a 9-second period, but the energy is a paltry 22. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. By the 16th, it’s dead – 0.3ft with an energy of 5. You’re better off taking up kite surfing if this is all we’re getting; the wind is there, but the waves just aren’t cooperating.
All in all, Fenway Beach is a bust for the next 16 days. The water’s fine, the air is warm, but there’s just no swell to speak of. You’d be chasing ghosts.

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.
