The Lowdown

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of coast is looking pretty quiet for a while. The first week and a half is mostly small, weak, and messy, with onshore winds messing up what little swell there is. You’re gonna want to find something else to do for a bit unless you’re desperate for a knee-high dribble.

We’re looking at a pretty flat spell from the 27th of August right through to the 4th of September. There’s some tiny swell in the water, but it’s mostly under 3 feet, with a weak combined energy (54 to 100 range). Winds are cross-shore or onshore most of the time, so it’s lumpy and uninviting. The only real clean moments are on the 1st of September morning with a moderate offshore, but the swell is still tiny (3ft) and short-period, so it’s not worth the paddle.

Things pick up a touch around the 3rd and 4th, with a bit more east in the swell and some cleaner conditions, but even then, we’re talking about 2ft to 3ft at best. The energy is still weak (85-100), and it’s not breaking with any sort of punch. The 4th of September morning has a moderate offshore with some 8-second swell, but it’s still just a small, cleanish option for a longboard if you’re really jonesing.

The most promising window arrives around the 7th of September. That Monday morning, the wind goes glassy—a proper “slight air” and clean conditions. Swell jumps a bit to 4ft from the SSW, and the combined energy ticks into the moderate range at 122. It's still a short-period swell though, around 6 seconds, and with the wind swinging cross-on in the afternoon, the window is narrowed to that morning session. It’s not big, but it’s the cleanest, most surfable wave we’ve had all forecast.

From there, the 8th sees the swell peak a little higher (5ft) with energy at 158, but the onshore wind ruins it. Then it fades again before a final pulse on the 11th of September. That Friday morning brings a 5ft SSW swell with a period of 7 seconds and our strongest energy reading of the whole period at 163. But again, the wind is cross-on and it’s forecast to be messy. It’s a “surfable but ordinary” setup, not a standout.

Honestly, if you’re a beginner, the whole window is fine—it never gets over 5ft. But for anyone else, there’s not much to get excited about. The 7th morning is your best bet for a clean, if small, session at Fenway Beach. It’s a breakwater setup, fairly consistent, and that glassy morning will make it look better than it is. Keep an eye on the 11th as a potential, but don’t book the day off yet.

No big groundswell here—periods stay in that 8-second range or lower for the most part. It’s all short-period windswell and local pulses. Not the kind of window that gets the heart pumping. The water’s about average for this time of year, no crazy anomalies.

So, bottom line: keep the board in the car, but don’t stress. It tends not to stay this flat for long. Check back in a few days; forecasts can shift. I’d be eyeing that 7th of September morning as the only real chance for a clean one in the near term.

Rusty out.

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.
