The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. This is a tough one to call, folks. Let me break it down for you.
We’re looking at Fenway Beach, and I gotta be straight with you – the entire 16-day window is a real struggle. For the first couple of weeks, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly junk, and the surf report reads like a broken record: "poor surf conditions." You’re looking at a long, dry spell from now all the way through to the 9th of September. There’s no stand-out day, no hidden gem, just a whole lot of nothing for a surfer.
The only glimmer of potential comes right at the very end of the forecast. On the afternoon of the 10th of September, we see a bit of a pulse. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SE. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 218 (moderate wave energy), which is the most we’ve seen in the whole period. The wind is a clean, cross-off breeze from the WNW, which should keep the faces tidy. But here’s the catch: that period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit weak and crumbly.
Water temperature is around 69°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no worries on a wetsuit length.
Overall, I wouldn’t even bother paddling out for the first 15 days. The 10th of September shows a bit of promise, but it’s a long way off and the quality is still a big question mark. For now, the beach is a better spot for a picnic than a surf.

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.
