The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Fenway Beach, it’s a tough one. We're staring down a long dry spell with nothing good on offer. The first recommendation doesn't even show up for the whole 16-day run. Every single forecast window is written off as poor surf conditions. That’s a brutal run, and I gotta be straight with you – there's nothing here worth paddling out for right now.
The pattern just never gets going. Swell heights are tiny, mostly hanging around that 0.7 ft to 2 ft mark. We get a slight bump around the 2nd of September with the combined energy hitting a moderate 188, but the break is a breakwater and the wind is cross-off, keeping it clean. The swell is only 4 ft from the ESE with a short period of 6 seconds though, so even then it’s not doing anything special. Water temps are sitting at about 69°, which is dead average for this time of year.
After that early September blip, it fades right back out. By the 8th and 9th of September, we see some more moderate energy (165 and 222), but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, ruining any chance of a decent wave. The swell direction from the SSE doesn't match the optimum SE direction for this spot anyway.
There's just no standout period. No clean, fun surf. If you are really keen, the best of a bad bunch might be the morning of the 2nd of September when the swell is at its biggest at 4 ft and the wind is clean, but the period is short and energy is moderate. It’s a long shot. This is a blank run that feels pretty normal for the area given the lack of consistent exposure.
Stay patient, keep watching the charts, and hopefully, something changes.

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.
