The Lowdown

Gather 'round, crew. Let's talk about Fenway Beach. It's a breakwater setup, fairly exposed to the south-east, and it's usually a beginner-friendly spot. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing weird going on.

Right now, and for the next several days, it's a bit of a write-off. From Monday the 24th all the way through to Friday the 28th, we're looking at tiny, weak waves – mostly under 3ft – with a short, choppy period. Wind's all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the energy's weak, coming in at just 84 and lower. There's nothing worth paddling for. Just a lot of washed-out, messy lines.

Saturday the 29th morning is the first little whisper of hope. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the south, and we get a clean, light offshore breeze from the north. The waves are surfable, but the energy is still weak (88). It's ordinary, not a standout, but it's the first clean window we've seen.

Then we hit a dead zone. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are back to tiny, weak, and onshore junk. Energy levels drop into the 20s and 30s. Nothing doing.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. The standout window is Saturday, September 5th. The morning is okay, but the afternoon is the main event. We get a solid 3ft swell pushing in from the ESE, with a period jumping up to 12 seconds – that's a proper groundswell with some grunt. The wind goes light offshore from the north, cleaning it right up. The energy is moderate at 346, so there's some push behind it. This is the best-looking session on the board. The swell direction (ESE) is a bit off the optimum, but the clean conditions and longer period will make up for it.

Right before that, Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th have some clean, fresh offshore winds (north-east and north at 15-19 mph), but the swell is smaller and the surf quality is marginal. Thursday afternoon does see a jump in energy to 434, which is moderate to strong, but the waves are only 3ft and the wind is fresh, so it'll be wind-swept and tough. Not the pick.

On the 5th, the break is fairly consistent, so the wait should pay off. Crowds at Fenway are possible, so if you want a clean peak, get there early. That Saturday afternoon, it's game on. The waves are clean, the period is long, and it's a good, safe size for most. After that, from Sunday the 6th into the second week, the swell tails off again into small, weak slop with onshore winds. The long-range stuff on September 3rd and 4th had some decent energy but questionable quality – so take that with a pinch of salt.

So, the pick of the entire 16-day run is Saturday, September 5th afternoon. Don't sleep on it.

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.
