Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Fenway Beach has cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
Overall, it’s a pretty flat and lackluster outlook for Fenway Beach. The first week or so is mostly a write-off, with a frustrating stretch of poor surf and messy conditions. There’s a little potential in the very long range, but it’s nothing to get too excited about.
We start off Sunday, July 12th, with nothing doing. Tiny 2 ft S swell with a short period of 7 seconds and weak energy (28). The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s clean, but there’s zero power. That’s pretty much the story through the first week – small, weak, and mostly cross-shore or onshore chop. By Tuesday, July 14th afternoon, the wind picks up to 19 mph, making it lumpy with a 4 ft SSW swell but still a short period of 5 seconds. The energy is a bit more moderate (84), but the quality is poor, so it’s more of a kite-surfing session than a paddle-surfing one.
The only glimmer in the whole window comes on Monday, July 20th. We get a 3 ft S swell, period 8 seconds, with a moderate north offshore wind of 16 mph. That’ll clean things up nicely, and the combined energy is moderate (81). It’s only surfable waves in very ordinary conditions, but that offshore wind is a major positive. If you’re desperate, that’s the best shot. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The last real chance to get a wave is Monday, July 27th morning. A 5 ft S swell, period 8 seconds, with a glassy 3 mph SSE wind. The energy is moderate (253), and it’ll be glassy, but again, it’s just surfable, not great. The rest of the period is a mix of onshore, cross-shore, and lumpy conditions.
So, a long flat spell for Fenway Beach. The 20th is the standout, but it’s only a slight step up. Keep an eye on the 27th, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
