The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Fenway Beach.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and bleak. The swell’s gonna be tiny, mostly under about 1 feet, and the energy just isn’t there for a proper surf. There’s a good stretch from now right through to the 9th of September where it’s all well under a foot and a half, and the combined energy is barely ticking over, mostly in the teens or twenties (weak). You’re gonna have to wait a while for anything that gets the heart pumping.
The first real bump in the road comes around the 10th of September. Thursday the 10th sees the swell finally push up to about 5 feet from the SSW, with combined energy ramping into the moderately strong range (276 to 438). Problem is, the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SW at 30 km/h and the conditions are described as lumpy and poor. That’s a messy, blown-out situation. The water’s about average for this time of year, sitting around 69°F, so no wild temp surprises.
The only time the wind really cleans up, and we get some decent lines, comes later on Friday the 11th of September. The morning is still a bit lumpy from the NW at 20 km/h, but by Friday afternoon, the wind swings to NNW at 20 km/h, going offshore. The swell drops to about 3 feet from the south, with a moderate wind period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (68), so it won’t be powerful, but it’ll be clean. Saturday the 12th morning also looks tidy with light WNW winds and 2 feet of south swell.
If there’s a standout, it’s a toss-up between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. I’d lean toward Friday afternoon for the cleaner offshore wind and slightly bigger swell, even if it’s not a massive day. The waves will be small and a bit soft, but for a longboard or a funboard, you’ll get some clean little runners. The swell direction from the south matches the optimum SE direction about as well as you could hope for here.
After that, it fades fast again. By the 13th it’s back to tiny, messy slop, and the second week of the outlook is just more of the same: small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore junk. Not much to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: the best bet in the whole 16-day window is Friday the 11th afternoon, with a nod to Saturday morning the 12th. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the cleanest and most surfable period we’ve got.
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.
