The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Well, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a tough stretch for surf at Fenway Beach. The first ten days or so are a real struggle – we’re talking poor surf conditions day after day, with very little to get excited about. The wait for something decent is a long one, almost a week and a half, before we finally see a glimmer of hope.

The early part of the outlook is a write-off. Tuesday the 25th of August through to most of the following week offers nothing but tiny, weak, messy waves. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is small and weak. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so that’s not a worry, but the surf sure is. You’ll get a taste of a light offshore wind on the morning of Saturday the 29th of August, but with only 2ft of swell and a short period, it’s still not going to give you anything worth paddling out for.

The real standout, the only real highlight, arrives on the morning of Thursday, the 3rd of September. The swell picks up to 5ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here reaches 267 (moderate to strong energy), and the wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the east-northeast. That’s a clean window. The break is fairly consistent, and the optimum swell direction is southeast, so east is kicking in at a good angle. This is a beginner-friendly break, and 5ft is the top end of that, so it’ll be a fun, manageable size for the less experienced, and a nice little wave for everyone else. Grab it while you can, because the afternoon turns choppy again.

The rest of the second week is a mixed bag. The morning of Friday the 4th of September offers a glassy 3ft with good energy in the water (227), but it’s only a 1 out of 10 for quality, so the conditions might be ordinary. After that, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly average conditions. The morning of the 5th of September has a clean cross-off breeze, but only 2ft of swell. A few sessions might be salvageable, but nothing else compares to that Thursday morning.

For a kite surfer, though, the windier days in the first week, like the 31st of August with its 15 mph cross and cross-on winds, might look more interesting than for a paddle surfer.

Stay patient, and pencil in the 3rd of September.

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.
