The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's see what Fenway Beach has cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The outlook for Fenway Beach is a real bummer for the next while. There's a massive gap of surf that just isn't worth paddling out for. For the first ten days, from Friday the 7th of August right through to Sunday the 16th, it's pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly junk. You're looking at weak, choppy, and sloppy conditions. The combined energy is way down in the double digits or low triple digits (like 120 down to 20), which tells you there's just no power in the water. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want a thicker suit.
After that dry spell, things finally start to look a little bit alive. Monday the 17th of August is your best – and really only – chance to get wet. The morning session is looking clean, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The swell ticks up, coming from the SW at 3 ft, with a combined energy of 132 (moderate). The afternoon holds similar, with clean conditions and a 3 ft SW swell (energy of 123). It's nothing to write home about, just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but after a week and a half of nothing, I'll take it. This is a beginner-friendly break, so 3 ft waves are perfect for a longboard or a foamie. The wind is light and clean, which is a major positive. The break is a breakwater, fairly exposed to the swell, and the optimum swell direction is SE, so that SW swell is coming in at an angle.
After that little window on Monday, it's back to flat and weak for the rest of the forecast. The short period (6-7 seconds) and small wave heights just won't give you anything to work with, and the onshore winds will ruin whatever is there.
So, the one standout is Monday the 17th of August at Fenway Beach. It's the only show in town, and it won't be anything epic, but it's clean, rideable, and for a beginner, it's a solid session. The rest of the time, keep the board in the car and save your energy.
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.
