Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk in feet and Fahrenheit. The next week and a half is mostly flat and ugly – a solid 9-day stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. The water is running about 65°F, which is a couple degrees cooler than normal for July, so don’t forget a thicker wetsuit.
The only real standout hits on Monday, July 20th, and rolls into Tuesday, July 21st. Monday morning brings a 5ft S swell with a light offshore wind from the NNE at 9 mph, combined energy at 194 (moderate). It’s rideable but still a bit average. The real sweet spot is Monday afternoon: a 5ft S swell with an 8-second period, light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 6 mph, combined energy jumping to 331 (moderate). That’s your best session. Tuesday morning goes glassy – zero wind – with a 4ft S swell, 9-second period, and 282 combined energy. Clean, lined up, and fun at Fenway Beach. It’s a breakwater setup, fairly exposed to the S swell, and you might see a few other heads out there.
The S swell direction is a good match for the break, and with those light winds, it’ll be smooth. The size stays under 5ft, so it’s fine for beginners too.
After that, it drops back into weak, choppy junk through the rest of the month. The 25th and 26th have a few cross-off moments with 4ft S swell, but the energy is lower and the quality is just "surfable" at best. Not worth the drive.
Mark your calendar for the 20th and 21st of July. That’s the call.

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.
