The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s call a spade a spade—the next 16 days are a flat, tough stretch. There’s nothing happening.
The only spot in the mix is Fenway Beach, a little breakwater wave that’s strictly for beginners. It’s fairly exposed to the south, and it really needs a southeast swell to work. Water’s sitting around 70°, which is pretty average for this time of year.
From Saturday the 15th all the way through the rest of the window, it’s just poor conditions. We’re looking at ankle-slappers—0.7ft to 1ft—with short, weak period swell around 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is mostly in the basement, sometimes as low as 7 (weak energy), sometimes pushing double digits but still weak. The wind’s usually onshore or cross-on, messing up any chance of a clean wave. Not one single day stands out.
There’s one morning on Tuesday the 18th that might sorta work—a 3ft SSE swell with a period of 7 seconds, and energy hitting 95 (still weak). It’ll be “surfable but ordinary.” Then again on Thursday the 27th, a 3ft S swell with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW, energy at 99, and it’s still just “surfable.” That’s the best we’ve got.
Honestly, it’s one of those blank runs. If you’re itching to surf, don’t expect anything worth the paddle out.
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.
