The Lowdown
Alright my friends, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming at Fenway Beach. I won’t sugarcoat it – there’s a whole lot of nothing on the horizon for most of this forecast.
The wave energy is barely a whisper for days, with combined totals reading between 33 and 61 for most of the first week. Water temp is around 69°F, which is standard for this time of year. Winds are messy – mostly cross or onshore – and those tiny 1.0ft to 2ft waves with short intervals just aren’t going to do anything. From Tuesday the 25th of August through Friday the 28th, stay home.
The 29th and 30th of August don’t offer any real hope either. Saturday morning the 29th has a 3ft south swell, but the period is a weak 7 seconds. The combined energy is only 99. The wind is offshore and clean, but the waves are just too small and weak to be fun.
Then we hit a dead zone again. From the 30th of August up to Saturday the 5th of September, it’s mostly flat or blown out. There’s a brief moment of glass on Thursday afternoon the 3rd of September, but it’s only 2ft – not enough to justify a paddle.
The one and only standout is Monday the 7th of September. Monday morning looks solid. We’ve got a 5ft SSW swell with an 8-second period. The combined energy hits 294 – that’s our first moderate reading. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW. This should give Fenway Beach (breakwater) some punchy, clean waves. At 5ft, it’s okay for stronger beginners but it’s getting into intermediate territory. The afternoon jumps to 5ft with 621 energy, but the cross-shore wind will mess it up, so be on it first thing.
After that, it fades to flat again through the 8th and 9th of September. The call for the 7th is over a week out, so it’s promising but not locked in. Keep checking.
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.
