The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. To be honest, looking at the next 16 days for Fenway Beach, it's a pretty bleak picture. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and there's just nothing on offer that gets a surfer out of bed. It’s a long stretch of flat to marginal dribble.
We start off on Monday the 7th of September. A tiny 0.7ft ESE windswell with a period of 10 seconds, but it's a light cross-shore breeze ruining it. The combined energy is a measly 14 (weak energy). You'd be fighting for a knee-high slop. The water temp is a pleasant 69°, which is about normal for the time of year, but that's the only good thing here.
The next few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 8th through to Monday the 14th are all scoring a zero. Swells are 0.3ft to 2ft, periods are short, and the wind is all over the shop – cross, onshore, cross-offshore. There's a moment on the morning of Monday the 14th where the wind goes glassy, but with a 2ft, 8-second swell and only 37 (weak energy) of oomph, it's still a flat, sleepy lake. Not worth paddling out for.
We finally see a bump on Saturday the 19th of September. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the south at 7 seconds, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy hits 85 (weak energy). The file even calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It's a one-star day out of ten. It's something, but it's not good. The afternoon of the same day is a 3ft southerly swell again, but with a light onshore wind, making it messy.
After that, from Sunday the 20th through to Tuesday the 22nd, it's back to flatness. Tiny swells, poor wind, and a lot of chop. The whole 16-day window is a big, fat zero for Fenway Beach. The only glimpse of anything rideable is that Saturday morning the 19th, and even that is a "stay-in-bed" kind of surf.
No standouts here. No swell, no glory. The only thing that's consistent is the lack of quality.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
