The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s comin’ down the line for Fenway Beach. It’s gonna be a quiet stretch, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
The outlook starts with a real dud. Monday the 27th through Tuesday the 28th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell – only 2 ft out of the ESE, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 39 to 69, so barely a ripple. Add onshore winds and it’s just messy. Not worth paddling out.
Wednesday the 29th shows a spike in energy, jumping to 521, which is a strong pulse of swell, but it’s a messy one. The morning has rain and cross-shore winds, and the swell hits 5 ft out of the SE, but it’s short period and the conditions are just marginal. The afternoon cleans up, with glassy conditions and 5 ft from the SSE, but the waves are still very ordinary. It’s a maybe, but nothing to get stoked about.
From Thursday the 30th through the weekend, we’ve got surfable but very ordinary conditions. Swell hangs around 3 ft to 5 ft from the SSE and S, with periods of 8 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is in the moderate range (125 to 238). The best of it is probably Thursday the 30th morning – 5 ft, clean cross-offshore wind, and a little more consistency. But it’s still just average. The water’s a bit colder than normal for the time of year, sitting at 68°F.
Then we hit a big gap. From Sunday the 2nd of August all the way through to Sunday the 9th, it’s mostly poor. The swell drops right off – 2 ft to 2 ft, weak energy, and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The ocean is just not interested. The best of that dead period is Tuesday the 4th morning, with a clean offshore breeze and 4 ft, but the energy is only 177, so it’s a very small window of okay conditions.
Finally, on Monday the 10th of August, there’s a little flicker. 3 ft from the S, clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s a short period of 6 seconds and the energy is still weak at 89. It’s surfable, but barely.
Honestly, the standout is hard to find. If I had to pick one session, it’s Thursday the 30th morning. 5 ft from the SSE (optimum swell direction is SE), clean conditions, and the most consistent energy in the whole run. But even that’s a far cry from pumping. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or just plain flat.
Stay patient, my friends. The ocean’s taking a nap.

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.
