The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. I'm looking at the next couple of weeks for Fenway Beach, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any kind of decent surf. We're looking at a long, dry spell.
Right out of the gate, the first recommendation on September 6th is just a tiny 0.7 ft ESE swell with a weak energy reading of 8, and it's raining with a cross-onshore wind. That's about as small and messy as it gets. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The whole first week, from the 6th right through to the 12th, is a total bust. The swell barely gets above 0.7 ft, and the winds are mostly cross-off or onshore, but it doesn't matter because there's no energy. The combined energy stays under 30 for most of that time – that's flat, flat, flat.
We get a little pulse of energy on the 10th of September, with a 6 ft swell from the SSW and a combined energy of 295. That's a moderate energy event, but look at the wind – a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore. That's gonna be a lumpy, choppy mess. The period is only 7 seconds too, so it's just windswell, no real shape to it. It's a no-go.
The second week is more of the same. The swell never really gets going. The biggest we see is a 3 ft SSW pulse on the 20th of September, but it's short period (5 seconds) and the wind is onshore. The energy is only 70, so it's weak. Absolutely nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, for Fenway Beach, this is a blank run. There's no standout session, no "best on offer." It's a flat spell with a few tiny, blown-out bumps. If you're desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple on the morning of the 11th of September when the wind is clean and cross-off, but it's a 3 ft S swell with a 6-second period and energy of 58 – it's not going to break properly. The setup is a breakwater, so with this kind of weak, short-period swell, it's just not going to work.
Forget the surfboard. If you're into kiting, the 10th of September has some wind and a bit of chop, but for paddle surfing, it's a no-show. The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a waiting game.
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.
