Fenway Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get real about your local stretch for the next couple of weeks.

We’re looking at a short run of workable, clean waves kicking off mid-week, but after that, it’s a long, flat spell. The water’s sitting at 68°F at Fenway Beach, which is about 3°F cooler than what’s normal for this time of year – a bit nippier than you’d expect.

The best shot in this whole 16-day window hits Wednesday afternoon, July 29. A solid SSE swell pushes chest-high at 6ft, with a short, punchy 7-second period. Even better, the wind swings NE light at just 6 mph, giving you cross-offshore conditions that will clean that breakwater up. The combined energy hits 453 – that’s got some proper push behind it. For a beginner-friendly spot like Fenway Beach, this is as good as it gets for the whole run.

Wednesday morning before that is a step down: 4ft SSE swell but cross-shore winds at 16 mph and a nasty cross-chop. Not your one. Thursday through the weekend sees the swell fade into waist-high or smaller, mostly onshore or poor wind, with energy dropping from 231 down to 57. It’s just grim.

Then from Monday, August 3 right through to the morning of August 12, the surf is weak and disappointing. You get days of small, onshore slop, with combined energy sitting below 100 – mostly between 14 and 92. There’s a morning on August 10 where the wind goes glassy and the period stretches to 10 seconds on a 2ft SSE swell, but with energy at just 81, it’s barely a knee-high dribble. Not worth suiting up for.

After that, a little bump on August 12 morning gives you 3ft from the south at a 7-second period, clean with light offshore ENE wind at 6 mph, and energy back up to 105. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Honestly, that Wednesday afternoon window is your only true standout. The rest is a ghost town. It’s a five-to-seven-day gap of nothing worth paddling for. Hang in there – forecasts can shift, but this one’s looking lean.

Rusty.
