The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break it down in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
It’s a grim outlook overall for Fenway Beach with a long stretch of flat or just poor surf taking up most of the next week and a half. The one real chance to get wet is on Thursday, the 10th of September.
That morning brings the best of it: a 7ft SSW swell with a period of 8 seconds and combined wave energy reading (918). The wind will be offshore out of the west at 12 mph, keeping things clean. That's your window. Water temp is 69°, which is dead average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Thursday afternoon backs down a bit to around 5ft, still clean, but the morning is the clear standout. That 7ft is a fair bit of size, so beginners might want to sit this one out. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so expect a few others in the lineup if the word gets out. Swell direction from the SSW will wrap in okay even though the optimum here is SE.
Outside of that Thursday session, the rest of the 16 days is a write-off. Tiny waves, onshore junk, and choppy water dominate. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, with a lot of lumpy conditions. The few days before the 10th offer nothing bigger than 2ft, clean but too small to ride. After Thursday, it drops right back to knee-high mush with onshore winds. On the 9th, with 19 mph cross-onshore wind and 4ft of slop, you're better off rigging a kite than paddling a surfboard. The gaps between any worthwhile surf are huge—days and days of nothing.
So, one day only: Thursday morning, the 10th, at Fenway Beach. Decent swell, clean wind. Don’t expect much else for the rest of the run. Forecasts can change, but right now it's slim pickings.
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.
