Fenway Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf, so don’t go getting your hopes up just yet. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, messy waves ahead, but I’ll walk you through it so you know exactly what you’re missing.

We start off with a flat spell. The first few days at Fenway Beach are basically a write-off. Sunday the 30th has maybe knee-high slop at 1ft, with a cross-shore breeze chopping it up. The swell is weak, with energy at just 29. Not good. Monday and Tuesday aren't much better, with waves barely reaching 1ft. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is about normal for the time of year, so at least it's not freezing while you're shaking your head.

We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on Wednesday, the 2nd of September. The swell bumps up to 4ft, but it’s coming in short and jumbled, with a period of only 6 seconds, and it’s going to be lumpy. The energy jumps to 190, which is moderate, but the quality just isn't there. This is more of a messy push than anything you’d want to paddle out into.

After that, we fade back down again. The rest of the first week and into the second is small, inconsistent, and mostly onshore. There are a few mornings, like the 4th and 5th of September, with some clean conditions from a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only around 1ft.

The next real sign of life shows up on Tuesday, the 8th of September. The swell builds to 3ft, and then up to 5ft in the afternoon, with period dropping to 5-6 seconds. The energy is moderate, around 155, but the wind turns onshore and it gets choppy. On Wednesday the 9th, we have a 4ft swell, but it's a straight onshore wind, so it’s a messy close-out.

Honestly, the only thing that looks remotely interesting is that Wednesday the 2nd, but it’s still a poor quality wave. The rest of the window is a mix of flat days and small, wind-blown dribble. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the bigger days.

There’s a bit of a clean-up down the track, with lighter winds from the 12th and 13th, but the swell fades back to almost nothing. The long period swell that pops up on the 7th from the ESE with a 12-second period is promising in theory, but at 1ft, there’s just no power behind it to do anything with.

So, there you have it. A long, flat outlook with no real standouts. Hang loose, check back later, and hopefully the ocean will get its act together.
