The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – for the next 16 days, Fenway Beach is a tough one. The forecast is a real dud. I’m looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions, and there’s nothing I can honestly recommend you wax up for.
The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 67°, so that’s a notable chill for a July paddle.
From Wednesday the 15th right through to the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd, it’s all poor surf. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the period is short – around 5 to 6 seconds. That’s junky, weak, windswell. The combined energy is low, often below 100 (164 on Wednesday morning, dropping to 12-19 on Friday). Winds are cross or cross-onshore, adding a chop to the mix. This stretch is a write-off.
Now, we finally get a glimmer on the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd. A clean window opens up with a light WNW wind, a cross-off breeze that should clean things up. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the south, period at 9 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 327 (moderate), and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions”. The score is only a 2 out of 10, but in this run, that’s the best we get. The swell is from the south, which matches the optimum for Fenway. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you might get a few, but it’s a beginner-friendly break, so 5 ft is manageable. This is your one and only standout.
After that, it’s back to small and poor. The mornings of the 27th and 28th of July have clean cross-off winds, but the swell is tiny (2 ft to 3 ft) and weak (energy around 57 to 111). Not enough to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: you have one real shot, on the afternoon of Wednesday the 22nd. Keep an eye on the forecast, because a run this poor tends not to stay that way for long. But as it stands, it’s a quiet 16 days.
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.
