The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a hard look at what's on the menu for Fenway Beach.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day stretch with very little to get excited about. The first window of proper surf doesn't really show up until the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July, and even then it's a struggle. Between the 25th of July and the 2nd of August, there's a long gap of days where the conditions are just plain poor, so don't bother checking the cam.
The only day that even comes close to being worth a paddle is Thursday the 23rd of July. We’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze from the NE at 6 mph, which is a real positive for Fenway Beach. That wind will tidy up the 4 ft swell rolling in from the S. The 8-second period isn't inspiring, but the combined energy is moderate (187). The water temp is a notable 67°, which is 4° colder than normal for this time of year, so a thicker wetsuit is a must. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but the swell is a little too big for the absolute beginners out there.
For the rest of the run, the wind is either onshore, cross-onshore, or just plain messy. We see a few moments of clean conditions on the 29th of July with a 19 mph NW cross-off, but the swell is small and weak, and the waves just aren't there. Even the larger swell on the 2nd of August (5 ft) is wrecked by a moderate cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and unpleasant. Honestly, for a paddle surfer, there's not much to chase here. The setup on the 2nd with that cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.
So, if you're keen, your best bet is the morning of Thursday the 23rd. Otherwise, we're waiting for a better run of forecasts. It’s a quiet spell, but it won’t last forever.
Stay frothy.
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.
