The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get real about what's on the table for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks. I've had a look at the charts, and to be honest, it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell of poor surf conditions that stretches all the way from now through to the middle of the month. There's no real swell to speak of, and when there is a tiny bump, the wind is usually in the wrong spot or it's just too small to bother with.

We start off with nothing really worth paddling out for. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are a write-off – tiny windswell and onshore or cross-onshore breezes making a mess of things. That theme continues for days. The wind does go clean or even glassy on a few mornings, like Wednesday the 12th and Saturday the 15th, but the swell is just pathetic – around 1 ft to 3 ft. The combined energy is weak, barely registering (13 to 80), and the swell period is short, under 8 seconds. It's the kind of dribble that'll have you sitting on your board staring at a flat horizon.

Finally, there's a slight flicker of hope on Monday the 17th. We get a jump in swell to about 5 ft from the South, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 258, which is the most we see in the whole run. The wind on Monday morning is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW at 16 mph, and by the afternoon it goes offshore. That afternoon session looks like the pick of the entire forecast – surfable waves, but still very ordinary. It's a glimmer, but don't get too excited.

After that one bright spot, it's back to the same old story for the rest of the second week. The swell drops away again, the wind turns onshore, and we're looking at tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. The period does get long (over 14 seconds) on the 18th and 19th, but the swell height is barely 1.0 ft to 2 ft, so it's a classic case of a long period swell with no height to show for it.

So, here's the bottom line: there is no standout session in this entire 16-day window. Monday the 17th afternoon is the only time the conditions align to offer something even borderline surfable. If you're desperate for a paddle, that's your one shot. Otherwise, it might be a good time to wax the longboard for tiny clean days, but honestly, don't expect much. The water temp is around 72°, which is about average for this time of year.

This is a blank run for the area, and it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, I'd be finding other things to do.

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.
