The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again – same story, now in feet and miles per hour.
Fenway Beach is a breakwater spot, good for beginners when it works, but this 16-day window is mostly a dud. Water’s at 66°F, about 3°F colder than usual – so yeah, it’s a bit chilly.
Now through the 20th of July, it’s flat to junk. Tuesday the 14th has a tiny 3ft SW swell with a short 5 second period, choppy from a 12 mph cross-onshore wind. Energy’s weak – 53. Wednesday and Thursday are the same – cross-shore chop, tiny waves. Friday through Sunday the 19th? Barely a ripple, all under 2ft, still cross-onshore. That’s a full week of nothing.
From Monday the 20th, we get a S swell – 5ft, 8 seconds, energy 264 – moderate. But the wind stays cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and poor.
Best bet: Tuesday the 21st morning. Clean at last. Swell from the S at 4ft (energy 192), 8 seconds, with a light WNW cross-offshore breeze – smooth faces. Not huge, but the cleanest we get. S direction is close to the optimum SE for Fenway. Crowds are sometimes, so you might have it to yourself early.
Wednesday the 22nd offers two windows. Morning: NNE wind at 19 mph cross-offshore, but swell only 3ft SSE. Afternoon though – that’s the one. 4ft SSE, 8 seconds, energy 190, with a gentle NNE cross-off breeze. That SSE direction is spot on. Clean, fun, rideable.
Thursday the 23rd morning goes glassy – dead calm – with a 3ft SSE swell (energy 117). Tiny but clean.
Then it fades again. From the 24th through the 28th, back to cross-onshore chop, maxing out at 4ft but messy. One odd note: Friday the 24th afternoon sees a 2ft swell with a long 13 second period – energy 246 – but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy and not breaking well on a breakwater. Pass.
Finally, Wednesday the 29th brings two glassy windows – morning and afternoon – both with 3ft S swell at 8 seconds, energy around 120-130. Clean but small.
If you’re picking one, go for Wednesday 22nd afternoon. Best size, direction, and cleanliness. Otherwise, be ready to wait.
Stay patient. Rusty out.

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.
