The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – this 16-day window for Fenway Beach is a tough one. There’s a long stretch of flat, messy conditions with very little to get excited about. The first nine days are basically a write-off, with tiny, weak swell and poor winds. The only faint glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the period, but even that’s a compromised one.
The first real chance to get wet is on Sunday, September 20th. We’ve got a pulse of south-southwest swell pushing through, offering about 4ft of wave height. The energy is moderate at best, sitting at (126) for the morning. The good news is the wind swings northerly, giving us a clean, glassy offshore texture. The bad news is that swell period is a short 6 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so the waves will lack punch and shape. It’s ‘surfable but ordinary’, and honestly, for a beach break setup like Fenway Beach, that short period will make for a pretty frustrating, crumbly wave. The afternoon sees the wind shift to a cross-offshore northwesterly, which cleans things up, but the energy is still weak.
The rest of the outlook is a desert. From Monday, September 21st onward, the swell drops back to tiny, messy ripples under cross-shore or onshore winds. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing to note there.
So, calling it as I see it: Sunday morning, September 20th, is the only chance to paddle out, and it’s a marginal one. Beginners might find it manageable in the morning clean conditions, but anyone with experience will be left wanting. If you’re desperate, you can probably find a few close-outs, but don’t expect any magic. This is a blank run, folks. It’s a quiet spell for the area, and sometimes that’s just how the cards fall. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, this is a two-week wait for a single, average day.
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.
