The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – Fenway Beach is in a flat spell. The whole 16‑day window from July 19 right through to August 3 is a write‑off for any decent surf. We’ve got nothing but poor conditions day after day, so if you’re hanging for a wave, better look elsewhere or take up something else.
The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – sitting at 67°F with a negative anomaly of -3°F. That’s noticeable but not freakish, just a bit nippy.
The only faint glimmer comes on Thursday July 23. Morning sees a 6ft swell from the south with a 9‑second period, and the combined energy hits 749 (moderate). Wind is WNW at 16 mph, cross‑off, so the surface is clean. The afternoon drops to 6ft from the SSW, still 9‑second period, energy 937, wind lighter at 9 mph and still cross‑off. But the wave comment calls it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s not a go‑to. Plus, the swell direction (S/SSW) is the opposite of Fenway’s optimum SE, so shape will be off. For a beginner breakwater spot, 6ft is on the higher side – might be too much for a learner. And remember, crowds are possible (sometimes). So, if you’re desperate and an expert, you could maybe peek at it, but don’t expect much.
Otherwise, every single day is a dud – tiny swell, onshore wind, or both. Even the glassy mornings on July 25, 26, and August 1‑2 only have 2‑3ft of weak, short‑period slop. Not worth paddling out.
This kind of blank run isn’t unusual for the area. Fenway is fairly consistent in general, but when it goes flat, it can stay that way. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
