The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me put it plain: the next 16 days at Fenway Beach are a total dud. No decent surf anywhere in that window. The highest score we get is a 1 out of 10, and it’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That says it all.
The first weekend—Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th—is hopeless. Saturday afternoon brings a weak 3ft swell from the ESE with a short 7-second period and combined energy of just 79. Cross-wind and choppy. Sunday morning cleans up a little with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops to 2ft and the energy is a measly 54. You could float around, but don’t expect a wave.
Midweek, Monday through Wednesday (27th to 29th), we see a small bump Wednesday morning: 4ft from the east with energy hitting 140, but it’s 5-second junk and rainy with cross-wind. Wednesday afternoon shows 4ft from the south, 8-second period, energy at 285, and clean cross-offshore wind—but the file still calls it poor surf. That tells you the shape and quality are missing.
Thursday the 30th through Sunday the 3rd of August runs small and weak. On the 3rd, we get a glassy morning—calm wind, flat water. Swell is only 3ft at 8 seconds from the SSE, but energy climbs to 156. That’s your best shot for a clean, knee-high wave. Not a standout, but if you’re jonesing, Monday morning is the pick.
From the 4th to the 9th of August, swell stays under 5ft with short periods and onshore or cross-onshore winds. A few spots with moderate energy in the 100–190 range, but the wind and chop ruin it. The last day, Sunday the 9th afternoon, hits 5ft from the SSW with energy at 141, but it’s cross-shore with a cross-chop. Too messy.
Water temp on the 25th of July is 67°F, which is 3°F colder than average for this time of year—noticeably cool. All in all, there’s nothing here for a surfer. The beach break setup with small, short-period swell and lousy wind is more suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing. A blank run like this is normal for this area. It doesn’t stay flat for long, so forecasts can turn, but right now? Don’t bother.
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.
