The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the table for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—it's a pretty quiet stretch. We're looking at a long run of days where the surf is mostly small and messy, with only a couple of moments that might get your heart rate up a little.

The water’s sitting at 67°F, which is a bit colder than you'd expect for this time of year, so a good wetsuit is a must for comfort.

Right off the bat, from Thursday the 16th right through the end of the weekend on the 21st, there's just nothing to get excited about. We're talking weak, short-period windswell, mostly under 3ft, with onshore or cross-shore winds junking it up. The combined energy is barely registering, and the surf reports are all "poor." You'd be better off staying home and waxing your board.

Things start to look a little different on Sunday the 19th. The morning brings a jump in size to a solid 7ft from the SSW, but it's short period (8 seconds) and the wind is a cross-shore. The combined energy hits 699, which is moderate, but it's still a marginal call. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, dropping to 4ft, but it's still nothing to write home about.

The best stretch actually looks like it might be the middle of the following week. On Wednesday the 22nd, we get a proper pulse. The morning sees 6ft from the south with a clean cross-offshore wind from the WNW, and the energy is up there (359). The afternoon drops a little to 5ft but stays clean with a NW breeze (298). This is the standout. It's not huge, but it's the most rideable we'll see. The break is a beginner-friendly breakwater that's fairly consistent, so it'll be a good option for those looking to get a few clean ones. Crowds are possible here, so keep that in mind.

After that, it gets a bit patchy. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th have some clean morning windows with 3ft to 6ft from the south, but the wind is a bit more variable. The real last hurrah might be on Sunday the 26th, where we see the biggest swell of the period—8ft from the south in the morning (943 energy), and 6ft in the afternoon (782). But with onshore winds both sessions, it's a marginal, messy affair. That kind of size with onshore wind is a recipe for a washing machine, maybe more fun for kites than paddles.

For the rest of the first week of August, it's back to small, weak, and mostly average. The wind keeps switching around, but the swell stays below 3ft. There's no real climax here, just a few fun windows. The main takeaway: Wednesday the 22nd is your best bet. Get out there for the morning session if you can.

Stay tuned, forecasts can always change for the better.

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.
