Fenway Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let me be straight with ya – it's a bit of a flat spell comin' up for Fenway Beach. Don't get too excited, because for the first few days, there's just not much to work with. We're looking at a long gap before anything even halfway decent shows its face.

We kick off on Saturday, 4 July, and honestly, don't even bother paddlin' out. Tiny 1 ft to 2 ft swell with weak energy (21 to 31) and messy, crummy winds. The water's a bit colder than usual at 65 °F, a coupla degrees off the norm for this time of year. Nothin' to see here, move along.

Sunday 5th, Monday 6th, Tuesday 7th, it's the same sad story – small dribbles of swell, with the wind switching around but never helping. By Monday arvo, we get a little bump to 5 ft, but it's short-period junk (6 seconds) with fresh cross-shore wind tearing it apart. Moderate energy in the water (180). Still a total write-off.

Wednesday 8th morning finally gives us a tiny glimmer. We've got a clean 2 ft easterly swell with an offshore breeze. The combined energy's weak (98), and it's honestly just "surfable but ordinary." A beginner might catch a foam ball, but nobody's callin' in sick for this.

Then we hit another big dry patch. From Wednesday arvo right through to Monday 13th, it's all poor surf conditions. A mix of onshore and cross-shore winds on tiny swell. Not worth your time.

Now, here's the one moment that might get your heart beatin' – Tuesday morning, 14 July. We've got a clean 3 ft east swell with a gentle offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 125 (moderate wave energy). Conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but for Fenway Beach in this stretch, that's the best we're gonna get. It'll be small, clean, and likely crowded since it's a fairly consistent beginner spot. The optimum swell is from the SE, and this is coming from the E, so it's close enough. The short period (7 seconds) means it won't have much grunt.

After that, the last few days of the forecast are essentially flat. Wednesday 15th morning goes glassy with a 1 ft swell (41 energy), but it's so tiny it barely counts. Thursday 16th through Sunday 19th is all onshore wind or cross-shore chop on waves that wouldn't even tickle a log.

So, to sum it up: Fenway Beach is in a long, flat rut. Your one and only *maybe* chance for anything rideable is the morning of Tuesday, 14 July. It's small, clean, and for a breakwater spot, that offshore wind is a blessing. For everything else, save your wax and your petrol.

Rusty.
