The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Fenway Beach has got cookin’ for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a rough start with Tuesday and Wednesday the 21st and 22nd July serving up gnarly, choppy conditions with strong onshore winds and energy readings that are all over the place, but the quality is just not there. Don’t even bother paddling out unless you’re looking to get beaten up. The wait is gonna feel long.
We’ve got a gap of a few days with no real action until Thursday morning the 23rd of July. That’s when things start to look a little more promising. The swell is around 5ft from the south, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a light, clean cross-offshore from the NE. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (273). The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s a clean little window, but definitely not a standout. The afternoon chops it up again.
The real standout window is shaping up Thursday morning the 30th of July. We’ve got a solid 5ft south swell running with a 9-second period, which is a nice, punchy groundswell. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 315, and the wind is a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NE. This is the best-looking surf in the whole window – clean, decent size, and the break is fairly consistent. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s a good one for everyone. Just keep in mind, crowds are a possibility here, so get in early.
On Wednesday morning the 29th of July, we get a brief moment of glassy conditions with a small 3ft swell, but it’s really not enough to get excited about. And again on Saturday morning the 1st of August, there’s a glassy patch with a 3ft SSE swell, but the energy is weak. Not worth the drive.
Overall, it’s a mixed bag. The first week is mostly a dud. The 30th of July Thursday morning is your one true shot at something decent. After that, the swell fades off into nothingness again. If you’re patient, that one morning might be worth it.
Later, 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.
