The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim run. The entire 16-day window is a struggle. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The only day that even raises an eyebrow is Thursday, July 30th, with a small 3ft swell from the south, period of 8 seconds, and a gentle offshore wind from the north-northeast. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year. The swell energy is moderate (140), but the waves are just ordinary. It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about. This is the only real recommendation, and it’s a weak one.
From Friday, July 31st, right through to the end of the forecast on August 14th, it’s a mess. We get small, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, with periods that are all over the place. The wind is almost always onshore, cross-onshore, or just plain messy. There's a small window on the morning of August 10th with glassy winds, but the swell is a tiny 2ft from the south-southwest with a period of 6 seconds – barely enough to get wet. The 9th of August has a clean look with a cross-offshore wind, but again, the swell is tiny and weak. The energy readings are consistently low, often in the double digits, and the combined energy never gets close to strong. The 7th of August has a bump of 4ft swell from the south, but it’s accompanied by strong onshore winds, making it a total write-off for a clean wave.
For a beginner, most of these swells are small enough, but the conditions are so poor it’s not worth paddling out. The wind and chop will ruin any chance of a fun ride. Honestly, for the majority of this period, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the consistent onshore wind and poor surf quality.
Hang in there. It won’t stay this poor forever, but for now, save your energy.
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.
