Fernald Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a tough one. We've got a classic spot, Fernald Point – a point break that's a rare breaker. And when it's on, it's supposed to be a gem for beginners, but it's rarely breaking for a reason. The whole 16-day window looks pretty flat and uninspiring.

The outlook kicks off in the morning of Friday, July 3rd, with a tiny 1.6 ft SSW groundswell. The period is a very long 16 seconds, which is good for shape, but the wave energy is weak at 159. Plus, the wind is onshore. It’s just not doing anything. We then go through a long stretch, day after day, with the same story: small swell, usually 1.3 ft to 2.3 ft, coming from the SSW, with the period bouncing between 14 and 18 seconds. The wave energy stays in the weak to moderate range, peaking around 356 on July 8th, but it’s all crossed-up with light onshore breezes. Every single session is marked as "poor surf conditions." There’s no standout, there’s no window of clean, rideable waves.

The gap of no surf stretches from July 3rd all the way to July 9th. On the morning of Thursday, July 9th, we get a glimmer with a "marginal" tag on a 2.0 ft SSW swell with a moderate energy of 294, but it's still crossed-on. That's the absolute best on offer, and it's a stretch to call it a recommendation. From there it continues flat with very poor conditions through to July 15th, where the swell drops to just 0.7 ft on Wednesday afternoon with energy barely registering at 26. The last few days pick up a touch – on July 18th, a 1.6 ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period gives us 224 energy, but it’s still a cross-onshore wind. For a break that rarely breaks, this is a classic blank run.

If you're a kite surfer, the wind is light and messy, so even that's not looking great. For paddle surfing, there’s honestly nothing to get excited about. It’s a long, quiet spell for Fernald Point.
