The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days is pretty grim. The finder has no recommendations at all, and we’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions. The good news is that the occasional clean window pops up, so it’s not a total write-off, but you’ll need to be patient.
Right now, Monday the 20th is a no-go. We’ve got a tiny 2ft south swell with a weak, short period of 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore. The combined energy is a feeble 61, and the water is sitting at 67°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Total mush.
The next few days are just as rough. Tuesday the 21st brings a bit more size on Tuesday afternoon, with a 5ft SSE swell, but the period drops to 6 seconds and the wind is howling cross-onshore at 16 mph. Choppy and messy. Wednesday the 22nd sees the swell jump up to 8ft from the south with a moderate 8-second period, and the energy ramps up to 719, but it’s still cross-onshore wind. That’s big, unruly, and blown out – maybe more interesting for a kite session than a paddle.
Then we get a small glimmer. Thursday the 23rd morning is the only real standout in the whole forecast. The swell drops to a manageable 6ft from the south, period stretches to 9 seconds, and the energy is a solid 461. But the real story is the wind: it’s offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. That’s clean, glassy conditions. The surf will be lined up and a bit more powerful. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best you’re going to get. Thursday afternoon the wind swings back onshore, so that morning window is the one.
After that, we’re back to a long, dry gap. From Friday the 24th all the way through to Tuesday the 4th of August, the swell is tiny – mostly below 3ft – with short periods and predominantly onshore or cross-shore winds. The combined energy drops to double digits or low triple digits, and the comment is “poor surf conditions” across the board. A few mornings, like Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 2nd, show clean winds, but there’s simply no swell to work with.
So, to sum it up: the only real chance to get a wave is Thursday morning, the 23rd of July. It’s not a classic, but it’s clean and has some push. The rest of the 16 days is a flat, blown-out mess. Hang in there boys, forecasts can change.
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.
