Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what’s on offer for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks. It's a breakwater setup, fairly exposed to the south-east, which is the optimum direction for it. I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a solid 4° colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good wetsuit.

We’re kicking off on Saturday the 11th of July, but don’t get too excited. We've got a tiny 2ft southerly swell with a weak period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly 35 – that’s weak. It’s also a cross-onshore breeze making it choppy. It’s a poor outlook right out of the gate. This flat, poor-quality theme runs and runs. From the 11th all the way through to the 21st of July, the surf is basically a write-off. There's the occasional bump in size, like Tuesday the 14th afternoon seeing 5ft, but the wind is a fresh onshore and the energy is only 118 (moderate). The quality is still listed as poor. The wind does go clean and cross-offshore on Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th morning goes glassy, but there’s almost no swell to ride at 2ft and 1ft respectively. It's frustrating.

There’s finally a glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning looks promising. The swell jumps to 5ft from the south with an 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 273 (moderate). The real kicker is the wind: glassy. Light easterly, not a breath of wind on the water. The guidance says this is the only spot where we might see ‘good surf conditions’ during the entire run. For Fenway Beach, a south swell works. It’s a standout purely because everything else is so grim. It’s worth a dawn patrol, but keep your expectations in check as the swell period is short.

From Wednesday afternoon onwards, the wind swings onshore and cross-shore, and the scores drop off fast. The size actually builds into the next week, with Thursday the 23rd afternoon seeing 6ft (404 energy) and Friday the 24th hitting 6ft (459 energy) with clean cross-offshore winds from the ENE. But the guidance keeps calling it poor surf conditions despite the size and clean wind. It’s likely that combination of 6ft of short-period swell and a cross-offshore wind is making it fast, sectiony, or just shutting down on that breakwater. If you're an expert, it might be worth a look for a challenge, but for most of us, that’s a pass. The final few days into the 26th of July drop back down to 4ft with onshore chop.

Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the standout is Wednesday morning the 22nd. That’s your only real shot at a glassy session with some push. Otherwise, for the next fortnight, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer given the lumpy, onshore conditions on the bigger days.

Stay patient.
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.
