The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First up, it’s a grim outlook for Fenway Beach. I'm looking at a 16-day window and honestly, there's no standout surf session in there. The first solid recommendation doesn’t even show up until the morning of Sunday, 26 July, and it’s a pretty average start.

Sunday 26 July – we get a bit of life in the morning with a 3ft swell from the east. The period is short, at 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be a bit weak and crumbly. The ENE wind is a cross-off, keeping things clean, but the energy is weak (175). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon drops off quickly as the swell shrinks and the wind goes cross-on. No joy there.

Monday 27 July through Tuesday 28 July – poor conditions. Swell stays small, winds get onshore or cross-onshore, and the water gets choppy. Not worth paddling out.

Wednesday 29 July – we see some size kick up, with the morning swell at 5ft from the east and the afternoon hitting 6ft. Combined energy jumps to moderate (196 morning, 372 afternoon). But here’s the catch: the wind is a cross-shore breeze at 12 mph, and we’ve got heavy and moderate rain. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” The size and period (6-7 seconds) don’t make up for the messy, choppy conditions. This is not a paddle-friendly setup; the size and wind would be more interesting for a kite surfer than someone on a shortboard.

Thursday 30 July – a tease. The wind switches offshore from the north, and it’s clean, but the swell drops back to 3ft from the south with a 9-second period. That’s weak energy (191). It’s surfable but tiny. The morning is cleaner, but again, you’re hunting for knee-high runners.

Friday 31 July – similar story. Light offshore winds from the NNW in the morning, clean conditions, but the swell is still small at 3ft and from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. Energy is low (120). Surfable but very ordinary.

After that, from Saturday 1 August right through to Monday 10 August, it’s a long, flat, or onshore run. There’s no highlight. The swell is small, winds are often onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is weak. The few moments of offshore wind are on tiny swell, and the bigger days (like 5-6 August) come with onshore or cross-onshore winds that chop everything up.

The crowd profile at Fenway says “sometimes,” but honestly, with the lack of quality, you won't have to worry about crowds.

Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Bottom line: the best on offer is the morning of Sunday 26 July for a clean but small wave, and the mornings of 30 and 31 July for a clean but weak wave. None of them are standouts. It’s a tough run. Forecasts can change, but right now, this area is in a poor patch.

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.
