The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s in store for Fenway Beach.
Straight up, the next sixteen days are looking pretty grim for any decent surf. There’s a whole lot of weak, short-period wind swell and cross-onshore winds that are just gonna trash the surface. The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t come until Thursday the 23rd, and even then it’s nothing special.
We’ve got a small pulse of south swell heading in. On Thursday morning the 23rd, we’re looking at clean 4ft surf with a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s not gonna have much power, and the combined energy is only moderate at 196. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a solid 4° colder than normal for this time of year – so you’ll want a thicker wetsuit. It’s a beginner-friendly break, and it’s fairly consistent when it’s working, but it can get crowded sometimes. That Thursday morning is probably your best bet in the whole window, but it’s still just “surfable” – not epic.
After that, the surf drops off to almost nothing. Friday the 24th through Sunday the 27th is all tiny, choppy junk. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th see a bit more size – 5ft on Tuesday morning – but the wind swings back to the SW, cross-onshore, and the quality is just poor. The energy climbs to 275 which is moderate, but the period is still short and the wind is ruining it.
Towards the end of the first week and into the second, the swell stays small and messy. Thursday the 30th has a brief moment of clean 3ft surf with a NW cross-offshore breeze, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. From the 1st of August onward, it’s a long stretch of onshore winds and tiny waves. There’s a window on the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August with clean 3ft surf and a light ENE breeze, but it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, this might be a better setup for you than a surfboard on some of those windier days. The swell is small, the winds are inconsistent, and the quality is just not there. It’s a tough run, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
Stay tuned, things can change. I’m 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.
