The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf window ahead for Fenway Beach.
Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a flat spell for the most part. We’re looking at a long, dry gap with pretty much nothing rideable until Monday the 17th of August. That’s a solid stretch of days with the ocean doing a whole lot of nothing.
Okay, so Monday morning the 17th is where it finally gets interesting. We’ve got a pulse of swell coming in from the S at 5ft, with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s a bit disorganised, but the wave energy is sitting at a moderate 178. That’s the biggest energy we see in the whole window. The wind is blowing offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. This is a breakwater setup, so it’s a fairly consistent spot that’s fairly exposed, but with that short period, it might be a bit lumpy. For a beginner-friendly break, that 5ft is on the high side, so be wary if you’re just starting out.
Sadly, that’s about as good as it gets. The wind switches onshore in the afternoon, and the rest of the outlook is a mix of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The south swell direction doesn't match the SE optimum for this break, so it's never firing properly.
Through the second week, there’s a glimmer on Sunday the 23rd of August with 4ft from the SSW and moderate energy at 111, but it’s blowing cross-onshore at 16 mph – messy and choppy, not worth getting wet for.
So, the standout call is clear: Monday morning, 17th of August, at Fenway Beach. Get in the water early for that brief window of clean, offshore waves. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so just your usual boardshorts or light steamer.
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.
