G’day, Rusty here.

Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next two weeks at Fenway Beach are a write-off for any decent surf. This breakwater setup is a beginner-friendly spot, but it's not going to offer anything worthwhile for a while. The water is sitting at 65°, which is much colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick suit if you’re even thinking about a paddle.

The first real chance of anything is a long way off. From now until around the 20th of July, the swell is tiny – mostly 1ft to 2ft – with short, weak periods (5-7 seconds) and combined energy values barely cracking 20 to 40 (weak wave energy). The winds are a mix of cross and cross-off, but the surf is just too small and gutless to bother with. There’s a solid gap of nearly two weeks of nothing.

Things start to pick up a little around the 21st of July. On Tuesday the 21st, the swell lifts to 3ft to 4ft from the S, with a period of 8-9 seconds and combined energy climbing to 140 then 220 (moderate wave energy). The wind is offshore (NNE and ENE) in the morning and afternoon, so it’s clean. Still, the surf quality is rated poor, so it’s not a standout.

The biggest swell of the whole run hits on Wednesday the 22nd of July. The swell jumps to 6ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon from the S, with a period of 9 seconds and combined energy of 575 then a massive 1584 (strong to very strong wave energy). That’s proper punchy, but here’s the kicker – the wind is cross-onshore from the WSW and SSW, 10-12 mph, making it choppy and messy. At 8ft, it’s only for experts, and with the wind shredding the surface, it’s less of a surf session and more of a battle. The set-up would be better suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th keep the size around 6ft to 7ft from the S, but again, cross-onshore winds (SW, SSW) and choppy conditions. The energy stays high (491 to 736, moderate to strong), but without clean wind, it’s a no-go.

With so few consistent options and the only sizeable swell being blown out, this is a pretty normal blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards at home.

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.
