Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s lined up for Fenway Beach. I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking flat and blown out. There’s no good surf on offer here at all. The first swell worth mentioning doesn’t even show up until Wednesday the 15th of July, and even then, it’s a mess.
The forecast kicks off from Wednesday the 8th of July and it’s a sad story. Tiny, weak swells from the ESE and SW, all under 3 ft, with periods so short they’re barely a ripple. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or choppy, making a mess of what little bump there is. The best you’ll see in the first week is a clean-ish morning on Saturday the 11th with a 2 ft S swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is weak (60) and the period is a short 7 seconds. It’s surfable for a beginner, but not worth getting excited about.
The water temp is sitting at 67°F with a slight anomaly of -1°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. Nothing to write home about.
We then hit a dry spell from Sunday the 12th through to Tuesday the 14th with even smaller, weaker swells. The energy drops into the 20s and 30s. It’s basically a lake.
Around Wednesday the 15th of July, the swell builds a little, hitting 5 ft from the SSW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 153 (moderate), but the wind is cross-shore and the surf quality is still rated as poor. The period is too short for any real power, and it’s a beach break, so it’ll be a lumpy, crumbly mess. Not a standout.
After that, it’s back to tiny drivel for the rest of the window. The mornings of Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th of July have glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1.0 ft to 2 ft. You’d be lucky to catch a knee-high ripple.
Honestly, the only time the wind cleans up and the swell has a pulse is on the 15th, but even then, the quality is junk. This setup would be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, if the wind were stronger.
There are no true standouts in this period. The forecast is bleak, and the conditions are consistently poor. When it’s this flat for this long, it tends not to stay poor forever, but for now, leave your board 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.
