The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a flat spell. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of small, weak, and pretty messy conditions. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny swell and poor surf quality. The wind is a bit of a mixed bag, but the swell just isn’t there to back it up. There’s a bit of a pickup around the 22nd, but it’s still nothing to write home about. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a steamer if you’re just paddlin’ around.
Fenway Beach is the only spot on the cards, and it’s a breakwater setup that’s fairly exposed. The very first real chance of anything rideable is the morning of Saturday, August 22nd. The wind is blowin’ clean and cross-off from the WNW at 12 mph, which is the best we’ll see. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the S, but with a short period of 5 seconds, it’s gonna be weak and crumbly. The combined energy is a low 85, so it’s not gonna have much punch. The afternoon of the 22nd is a bit bigger, 4 ft from the S, but the wind turns cross-shore, and the energy only bumps up to 101 (moderate). It’s not gonna be a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Before that, the whole first week is a dud. Paddlin’ out on the 9th or 10th would be a waste of time – tiny swell, poor directions, and choppy conditions. The morning of Thursday, August 13th has a bit of a clean look with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 3 ft from the SSW with a 6-second period and not much energy. It’s a pass.
For the long-range, the 22nd is the standout, but it’s still a small, weak swell. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but don’t expect any barrels. The rest of the week after that dips back down into the tiny stuff. So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 22nd is your window. Otherwise, keep the board in the shed.
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.
