The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming down the line.
First up, I gotta be straight with you – the next week or so is pretty grim. We’ve got a long dry spell here. From Sunday the 23rd right through to the end of August, it’s just tiny, weak, and choppy. That’s a solid 8 days of basically nothing worth paddling out for. Winds are all over the shop, mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is just pathetic.
But hold on, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Things start to show a pulse around the 1st of September. On Tuesday the 1st, we get a little 1ft swell from the SSE with a very long 15-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the wind goes clean with a light offshore in the morning. It’s not big, but it’s our first sign of life after a long flat spell.
Now, the real standout is shaping up for the weekend of the 6th and 7th of September. Sunday the 6th is the one to circle. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the S with an 11-second period, and the combined energy hits a solid 323 – that’s moderate to strong, no doubt. The morning looks clean with a moderate cross-off breeze. That’s the best on offer in this whole outlook. Fenway Beach is a breakwater setup, so it should handle that S swell well. Just a heads up, it can get crowded here, so get in early.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there.
So to sum it up: a long, boring wait, then a couple of clean, small days to ease back in, and one proper shot at some fun waves on the 6th. Don’t hold your breath for the first week, but that second weekend has some promise.
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.
