Table - best surf conditions forecast for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s get stuck into it. This is Fenway Beach, and it’s a tough run ahead. The forecast is a long stretch of what we’d call "character building" conditions. The water is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 66°F, and that’s a notable chill for the season.

Straight off the bat, Sunday the 12th kicks off with a tiny 2 ft swell from the south, period a weak 7 seconds. The combined energy is a low 37, and while the morning is glassy with a light SSE breeze, the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. It’s labelled as poor surf, and I’m not going to argue with that.

Monday the 13th drops even further to 1.0 ft, and the wind swings cross-on from the SSW. Poor all day. Tuesday the 14th sees a slight bump – the swell hits 3 ft in the morning, then 6 ft in the afternoon from the SSW, with the combined energy jumping to 182. That’s moderate energy, finally. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph, making it lumpy and messy. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s weak, choppy windswell. Not for the paddle surfer—this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Wednesday the 15th hangs around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the wind is cross-shore and the energy is still moderate (94 to 102), with a short period. It’s not clean. Thursday the 16th is back to small stuff. Friday the 17th offers a brief moment of cleaner conditions with a light cross-offshore NW wind in the morning, but the swell is only 2 ft. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.

From the 18th right through to the 27th, the story is the same: tiny waves, mostly under 3 ft, with onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy rarely breaks 100. There’s a small pulse on Tuesday the 21st and 22nd with swell around 4 ft to 5 ft, but the wind is straight onshore and the period is short. It’s messy and uninviting.

Honestly, there’s no standout in this 16-day window. The best of a bad lot is probably the glassy morning on Sunday the 12th, but with 2 ft and no power, it’s a swim, not a surf. For the rest of the run, it’s a bleak outlook. Fenway Beach is a breakwater setup, and without a decent groundswell and clean wind, it’s just not delivering. We’ll be waiting for forecasts to change.

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.
