The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Fenway Beach are looking pretty slim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy surf. You’re going to want to wait this one out.
Right now, through the end of August and into the first few days of September, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft from the SE, and the periods are short and weak. The combined swell energy is low, with values sitting between 14 and 93 – not enough to get excited about. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. Don’t bother paddling out for this.
We hit a small window on Thursday the 3rd of September. The morning sees a slight bump up to 2ft from the SE, with a combined energy of 106 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore (E), so it’s clean. It’s still surfable but very ordinary – not a standout by any means. That afternoon and the rest of the week drop back into the poor zone.
Then on Monday the 7th of September, the morning offers another tiny glimmer: 2ft from the ESE, period of 11 seconds. The energy is 117 (moderate), and it’s clean with light NE cross-offshore winds. Same story though – surfable but still very ordinary. The water temperature is running about average for this time of year, sitting at 69°F, with a small anomaly of -0.5°F. Nothing unusual there.
Overall, there’s no true standout swell in the whole 16-day run. The closest we get is that Thursday 3rd Monday 7th September morning window, but honestly, it’s still just small, weak, and lacking any punch. If those conditions line up with your time off and you just need a paddle, it’s doable, but don’t expect any magic.

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.
