G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll level with you – for the next 16 days at Fenway Beach, it’s gonna be a tough stretch. The forecast is a real bummer, with no decent surf on offer. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions right through the whole period.
Kicking off Thursday the 9th of July, it’s small and messy. Swell is a weak 2ft from the SSW, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the wind is a cross-onshore breeze at 12 mph. The combined energy is a poor 49, and it’s all chop. Thursday afternoon is similar, just a bit more swell at 3ft, but the wind picks up to 16 mph, making it lumpy. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th see the swell drop to 2ft–2ft, but the wind turns light and cross-offshore, cleaning things up a bit. Still, with energy in the 30s and 50s, it’s just not enough for a decent wave. Sunday the 12th is tiny, 2ft, and the wind swings back onshore.
The water is sitting at 66°F on the 9th, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year. Not a huge surprise, but it’s worth a wetsuit.
Mid-week, Monday the 13th is flat with 1.0ft, and Tuesday the 14th sees a bit of a spike to 5ft from the SSW, but it’s wind-affected with a fresh 19 mph breeze, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. The energy jumps to 151, but it’s not surfable. Wednesday the 15th morning is glassy with 3ft, but the swell is short-period and weak at 68 energy – still a write-off.
From Thursday the 16th through to Sunday the 19th, we’re in the doldrums. Swell barely reaches 1.0ft, with energy in the teens. The wind is mostly light cross-offshore, so the ocean is clean, but there’s nothing to ride. Monday the 20th is similar, with a tiny 1.0ft swell.
Then we get a bit of a pulse around Tuesday the 21st of July. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SE in the morning, with energy at 106, but the wind is a cross-on 12 mph, making it choppy. By the afternoon, it’s 6ft from the SE with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy hits 229, but it’s onshore wind at 12 mph. Wednesday the 22nd is the biggest we see: 5ft in the morning from the SSE, with a period of 8 seconds and a huge energy reading of 467. The afternoon is 5ft with 326 energy. But both sessions have onshore winds, making it a bumpy, messy mess. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfable wave, to be honest.
The last few days, Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th, fade back to small, weak swell with increasing onshore wind. Nothing to get excited about.
So, bottom line: there’s no standout session here. The conditions are just too poor across the board. I’d say keep your board in the shed and watch the forecast, because it can’t stay this bad forever.
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.
