The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s have a look at Fenway Beach.
To be straight up, the next two weeks are lean. Real lean. Tiny swell, messy wind, and only a few moments where the stars sorta line up.
Water temp is about 69°F, pretty normal for this time of year.
Sunday, August 23rd – 1ft of weak SE swell, 8-second period, cross-onshore wind. Don’t even bother.
Through the week it’s the same: Monday 24th has 2ft to 3ft from the south but only 6 seconds, choppy. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday – all tiny, weak, onshore-ish.
Friday, August 28th morning has a little 2ft SE swell with 8 seconds, energy hits moderate (105), but the wind’s cross-onshore. Not great.
Saturday, August 29th is the cleanest early window. Morning: 2ft from the south, 6 seconds, but the wind is cross-offshore from the NW, clean. Afternoon: 2ft from the SE, 8 seconds, again cross-offshore and clean. If you wanna get wet, that Saturday is your best early bet.
Then it goes flat again through Sunday and Monday.
Tuesday, September 1st morning brings the biggest swell: 4ft from the SW, period only 6 seconds, but the energy jumps to 164 (moderate) and the wind is light cross-offshore from the ENE. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” For Fenway, that’s the biggest wave of the forecast. Worth a look if you’re keen.
Thursday, September 3rd afternoon has 3ft from the SSE, 13-second period, and offshore wind from the ENE at 18 mph. Energy hits 261 (strong). Clean, long-period waves – but the wind is strong, so it’ll be a bit blown. Still, it’s a decent window.
Friday, September 4th morning – 3ft from the SSE, 12-second period, offshore wind from the north at 6 mph. Energy 227 (strong). Clean, long-period, small but workable. That’s probably the cleanest session of the whole run.
After that, it drops back to tiny, choppy dross.
So the best on offer are Saturday, August 29th for clean small waves, Tuesday, September 1st morning for the biggest swell (4ft) with clean wind, and Friday, September 4th morning for clean, long-period waves.
Otherwise, Fenway’s pretty quiet. The swell direction matches the optimum (SE), so that’s a plus when there’s anything. Crowds are only “sometimes” – with surf this small, you’ll have the place to yourself.

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.
