Fenway Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the look ahead for Fenway Beach. Let's be straight, it's a tough run on the cards.

The pattern for the next couple of weeks is pretty flat and uninspiring. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions that just won't deliver a quality wave. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is nearly bang on average for this time of year, so at least the water won't be a shock.

Right from the get-go, Tuesday the 25th kicks off with a tiny 1.0ft SE swell at a short 10 seconds, but a cross-onshore breeze has it chopped up. This poor run looks set to continue for days on end. We're looking at a gap that runs right through the end of August and into the first few days of September with nothing worth paddling out for. Most of the time, the wind is cross or onshore, and the combined swell energy rarely gets above a weak 87 (maxing out around 87 for a brief window on the 28th).

There's a tiny glimmer on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. A clean 3ft S swell with a light offshore wind gives us the only surfable conditions in the whole outlook, but with a period of just 7 seconds, the waves will be weak and lacking punch. The set-up is a breakwater, so it can be fun on its day, but with crowds possible, it’s just not a standout.

Beyond that, we get into a few days with clean, cross-offshore winds on the 2nd and 3rd of September. Don't get excited though – the swell is only 1.0ft to 2ft with very low energy (around 44 to 51). It’s clean and glassy, but the waves are simply too small and weak for a proper surf. It's a definite window for a longboard or a kayak, but not for a proper surfboard.

There’s a similar pattern deep into the forecast. By Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September, we see flat, glassy conditions with 1ft of swell but zero energy behind it (22-29). It’s the calmest of the calm. Later on, the 9th of September morning picks up with a cleaner 2ft SE swell and a cross-offshore breeze, bumping the energy to 73, but it's still a very small, beginner-friendly day at best.

Honestly, for the next 16 days, Fenway Beach is a write-off. It's one of those classic late-summer flat spells. The only bright spot is that these conditions tend not to hang around forever, and a shift in the forecast could bring better news, but right now, keep your board in the bag.

Rusty.
