The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s coming our way.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of barely-anything and a lot of onshore junk. The first real chance of a wave doesn't show up until Monday the 17th, and even that is marginal. Before that, from Sunday the 9th right through to Sunday the 16th, it’s essentially a write-off. You’ll be staring at tiny, weak swell – under 3 ft – with periods around 5 to 7 seconds, which is just windslop. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the water is about average for the time of year at 72°.
The only thing that even catches my eye is the morning of Tuesday the 18th. We’ve got a little pulse of 3 ft swell from the south, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (111), but the wind finally swings offshore from the north, blowing at a gentle 9 mph. That’s going to clean up Fenway Beach nicely. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and that’s about right. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only game in town. The swell direction is S, which is a bit off the optimum SE, but with clean, offshore wind, it’ll be your best bet for a few small, fun ones.
After that, it fizzles out again. The 19th sees a long-period 12-second SE groundswell roll in, but it’s only 2 ft and the wind is all over it. The 21st and 22nd bring a tiny bump back to 3 ft from the SSE, but again, cross-onshore winds ruin it. The last week is just more of the same small, messy slop from the south.
If you’re a beginner, most of this is too small and weak to even bother with. The 6 ft swell on the 17th is the biggest of the window, but it’s combined with onshore wind and a “marginal” rating, so it’s not worth paddling out for. Honestly, for the kites, the afternoons on the 13th and 14th with the WNW cross-off wind and clean conditions might be more interesting than anything on a surfboard.
So, save your energy. The best window is the early morning of Tuesday the 18th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only clean wave we’ll see.
Stay salty.

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.
