The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Fenway Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty flat spell ahead. The first recommendation for a surf doesn’t even show up until Saturday, the 12th of September, and before that, we’ve got a solid 11-day stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 69°F with a tiny anomaly of 0.4°F, so pretty average for this time of year - nothing weird there.
The only real standout I can see comes on Saturday the 12th in the afternoon. Fenway Beach is a breakwater setup, fairly exposed to swell, and it’s picking up a 4ft swell from the south with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a moderate energy pulse (182) and the wind is light from the NNW, coming cross-offshore, which is going to leave things clean. The waves are just surfable but the conditions are ordinary - still, it’s the best we’ve got. The morning of the 12th is even cleaner, with a 5ft south swell and 229 energy, but still poor surf conditions according to the call. If you’re desperate, you could try the afternoon session, but don’t expect much.
The crowds here are listed as “sometimes” busy, so you might have a few others out, but it shouldn’t be a zoo. The swell direction is from the south, which is not the optimum SE direction for this spot, so the waves won’t be at their best. Still, with that clean wind, it’s your best bet in this whole 16-day window.
After the 12th, it drops back off quickly. The Monday the 14th kicks up a 5ft south-southwest swell but with a strong cross-onshore wind from the southwest at 22 mph, making it a lumpy, messy mess - only for the hardcore. The rest of the second week is tiny, with little 1ft pulses and clean winds, but simply not enough swell to ride.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got to get wet, aim for Saturday the 12th afternoon at Fenway Beach. Otherwise, take a break.
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.
