Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Alright, let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are a tough stretch for Fenway Beach. There’s a real dry spell here, with nothing really worth paddling out for until late in the window. The first recommendation doesn’t come until the 22nd of July, so we’re looking at a solid gap of over a week with no real surf on offer. After that, the options are still pretty ordinary, so keep expectations low.
Fenway Beach – The only half-decent chance across the whole forecast lands on Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. We’ve got some swell coming in from the ESE at 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 128 – it’s not powerful, but it’s something. The real highlight here is the wind: it’s glassy, dead calm, which will make the surface clean as a whistle. That’s a major positive for a break that’s a breakwater setup and fairly exposed to the swell. The water temperature is running at 65°, which is much colder than usual for this time of year – a solid 4° below normal, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit. Crowds are only sometimes an issue, so you might get a few waves to yourself. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but if you’re desperate, that’s your best shot. The rest of the days are either too small, too windy, or just plain messy.
After that, the following days drop off again. Thursday has a bit of onshore wind and smaller swell, and by Friday the 24th, the wind picks up fresh with a risk of thunderstorms and lumpy conditions. The 25th sees a bit more size at 5 ft, but it’s cross-shore with a chop and still poor overall. Honestly, for kite surfers, some of those windier afternoon sessions might be more interesting than paddling.
So, to sum it up: if you’ve got a flexible schedule, aim for the 22nd of July morning. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Stay salty,
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.
