The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you’re looking for a surf this week, you’re gonna be disappointed. The next 16 days are a total write-off for decent waves around here. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but small, messy, and poor conditions. Not a single day stands out as worth paddling out for.
We start off Monday the 7th with tiny 0.7ft ESE swell and a gentle cross-off breeze, but it’s just not enough to get excited about – the combined energy is a measly 14 (weak). That trend continues through Tuesday the 8th with even smaller 0.3ft swell and energy dropping to 7. Wednesday the 9th is a bit of a joke – onshore winds and a 3ft SSW windswell with a period of only 4 seconds, making for choppy, grovelly conditions. Thursday the 10th sees a pulse of 6ft SSW swell with moderate energy (265) but it’s accompanied by strong cross-onshore winds and a short 7-second period, so it’s a choppy, blown-out mess. Not worth the drive.
The pattern of weak, small, or poorly-winded surf continues right through to the end of the forecast. Friday the 11th through Sunday the 13th is all under 2ft with weak energy, and while we get some clean windows, the swell is just too small. Monday the 14th brings a 6ft SSW swell (263 energy) but again, it’s a short-period windswell with cross-onshore winds – another messy, poor surf day. The rest of the week into the 22nd is a mix of tiny 0.3ft to 1.0ft swells, and while we see some offshore winds around the 18th and 19th, the swell is barely there with combined energy under 20.
The only break on offer is Fenway Beach, a beginner-friendly breakwater spot. It’s fairly consistent, but that doesn’t help when the waves are this poor. The water temperature is about 69°, pretty normal for the time of year with a tiny anomaly of +0.7°. No standouts, no days to circle on the calendar. This is a total blank run. Sometimes it’s just like that – forecasts can change, but for now, keep the boards in the car.
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.
