The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Fenway Beach is offering over the next couple weeks, and I’ll be honest – it’s a tough stretch. Every single reading shows "poor surf conditions", so don’t get your hopes up.
We kick off on Wednesday the 2nd of September with a tiny 0.5m swell from the southeast and a period around 11 seconds. The wind is out of the east at 15 km/h, blowing cross-shore, and the water is about 69°F – that’s normal for this time of year. The combined energy is weak (88). It’s flat and ugly.
Thursday the 3rd gets a little height, hitting 1.0m from the south, but the period tanks to 5 seconds. That’s just wind chop. With an onshore breeze from the southwest at 15 km/h, it’s choppy and poor. Not worth a second look.
Friday the 4th morning turns glassy – a light west wind at 5 km/h – but the swell is only 0.4m and the energy is a measly 36. There’s nothing to catch.
Then it gets worse. From the 5th of September all the way through to the 17th of September, there’s not a single session that breaks out of "poor." That’s a dead run of nearly two weeks. We get a clean moment on the 10th of September with a 1.2m south swell and offshore winds from the northwest, but the period is only 6 seconds and the energy is still weak. The wave state is still garbage.
Around the 12th and 13th of September, we see the biggest swells – up to 1.4m from the east with a combined energy of 170 – but it’s all short-period slop with cross-onshore winds. At a beach break like Fenway, that means choppy, blown-out junk. Frankly, it looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
There is zero standouts. No morning worth waking up for. This is a total flat spell for the area – these blank runs happen, and the ocean just isn’t cooperating. Forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d hang the wetsuit up and wait.
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.
