The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I’m looking at this forecast and it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf ahead. The first proper recommendation isn’t until Saturday the 26th of July, and even then it’s nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a gap of nearly a week before anything even slightly worth paddling out for shows up, and even then it’s ordinary.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Saturday 26th July – Sunday 27th July
The first real chance to get wet is on the Saturday morning. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the east-northeast, with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s weak and windswell stuff. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze, which should keep it clean, and the combined energy is only moderate (178). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The beginner-friendly breakwall setup here means it’s not too intimidating, but the quality is low. Sunday morning is even smaller, with a glassy 2ft wave from the east-southeast, but the energy is weak (39) – barely a ripple.

Monday 28th July – Tuesday 29th July
More of the same. Onshore winds and tiny waves. Not worth your time.

Wednesday 30th July – Thursday 31st July
A slight bump in the swell on Wednesday morning, with a 4ft from the east-southeast, but it’s a short period (5 seconds) and the wind is a messy cross-onshore. The combined energy is still weak (99). Thursday morning sees a bit of a shift: a 4ft wave from the south, with a slightly longer period of 8 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (243) but the wave quality is still poor. It’s a step in the right direction, but far from a standout.

Friday 1st August – Saturday 9th August
The rest of the run is a sorry sight. The swell stays small, the period is short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday the 5th of August morning with a clean 3ft wave from the south-southeast, but the energy is weak (99). Another clean morning on Thursday the 7th of August with a 4ft south swell, but the period is only 7 seconds, so it’s still weak energy (109). The surf is just not cooperating.

The Only Standout (relatively speaking)
If you’re desperate, the best on offer is the morning of Thursday the 31st of July. The 4ft south swell with a 9-second period and a cross-offshore wind gives you the cleanest conditions and the most energy (221) of the whole period. The breakwall setup at Fenway Beach (Fenway-Beach) is fairly exposed to a southerly swell, which is the optimum direction here, so it might just offer a few better-shaped waves. But don’t get your hopes up – it’s still a “surfable but very ordinary” situation. This spot can get crowded sometimes, so if you go, you’ll have company.

Bottom line: This is a long, flat, and frustrating forecast. The energy is too low for any real power, and the wind is rarely on our side. It’s a blank run that’s fairly normal for this area when the conditions line up wrong. Keep the board in the car, but maybe don’t wax it up just yet.

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.
