The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got for this stretch.
To be straight with you, this is a pretty bleak run. We’ve got a long gap of nothing but poor surf conditions kicking off the period, and it doesn’t really turn around until late in the game. The first few days are a write-off.
From Wednesday the 19th of August right through to Saturday the 29th of August, it’s mostly a total bust. Swell is tiny, usually under 2 ft, and when there is a little bump, the wind is messy or the period is short and weak. The combined energy barely breaks 100 (63 to 28), so there’s no grunt in the water. It’s just flat, choppy, or cross-shore junk. Not worth paddling out for.
There’s a slight flicker on Sunday the 23rd of August morning, with a 3 ft S swell and clean conditions thanks to a light NE cross-offshore breeze, but the period is only 6 seconds and the energy is just 88. Surfable if you’re desperate, but it’s ordinary.
The real tease comes on Thursday the 27th of August, where the swell starts to show some life. By Friday the 28th of August morning, we get a 5 ft S swell with a 10-second period, combined energy jumping to 406 (moderate energy). The wind is NE cross-off at 16 mph, keeping things clean. This is the best wave energy of the whole period, but the forecast still calls it “poor surf conditions.” It’s a frustrating one – decent size, clean face, but likely not well-shaped for this break.
Then another gap of flatness rolls in from Saturday the 29th of August through to the end of the month.
Finally, on Wednesday the 2nd of September, we get a last gasp: a 4 ft SSW swell in the morning with a 6-second period and light WNW cross-off breeze, clean. Energy hits 147, which is still moderate, but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. It’s described as “surfable but very ordinary.” That’s your best shot, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Honestly, if you’re itching for a paddle, the standouts here are the Thursday 27th and Friday 28th of August for the size and clean wind, but the poor quality rating holds it back. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of waiting.
Stay patient, mate.

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.
