Alright crew, Rusty here with the straight talk for Fenway Beach.
The next 16 days are a real bummer for this spot. There’s hardly any proper surf to speak of – just a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and messy, blown-out conditions. The whole forecast is a washout for paddle surfing. The swell energy is almost always in the two-digit range, so under 100, which is basically flat. The water temp is 66°, which is a bit colder than usual for July, by about 2°, so you’ll want a thick wetsuit if you even bother.
Kicking off Thursday, July 9th, it’s small and choppy. Thursday morning brings a weak 2ft swell from the SSW with a short 4-second period, and cross-onshore winds making it a bumpy mess. Energy is a weak 39. That afternoon gets a touch bigger to 3ft, but with 25 km/h cross-onshore winds, it’s just lumpy and poor. No good.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are cleaner thanks to light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is still tiny – 2ft to 2ft from the south, with short periods around 6-7 seconds. The energy is low, 40-55. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to actually surf. You’d be bobbing around.
Sunday the 12th is more of the same, with 2ft swell and clean morning conditions, but again, it’s not surfable. Monday the 13th drops to 1ft with an onshore wind. Forget it.
We get a bit of life on Tuesday the 14th afternoon, with the swell lifting to 6ft from the SSW, but it’s a short-period 6-second windswell, and the wind is a fresh 35 km/h cross-onshore. That combo makes it lumpy and ugly. The energy jumps to 190 (moderate), but it’s just a messy, blown-out wall of chop. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a surfing one.
The rest of the run from Wednesday the 15th through to Friday the 24th is a broken record: tiny swell (1ft to 4ft), poor directions, and onshore or cross-onshore winds most of the time. There are a few glassy moments – like Friday morning the 17th with 2ft and glassy conditions – but the lack of size means you’d be doing more floating than riding. The energy only gets into the triple digits a couple of times (190 on the 14th, 100 on the 19th morning, 178 on the 21st morning, 160 on the 21st afternoon), but it’s always attached to poor wind or tiny, short-period swell.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. The only break is Fenway Beach, and it’s just not happening. This is one of those stretches where it’s better to hang the board up and wait for the next forecast. Things can change, but right now, it’s a solid no-go for any real surfing.
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.
