The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you—the next two weeks at Fenway Beach are mostly a flat spell with a late pulse that might get your heart racing.

For the first eleven days, from now through the 16th of September, there’s almost nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves, mostly under 2 feet, and the combined energy barely makes it into double digits—anywhere from 7 to 63 (weak). It’s a real bummer. The few mornings with a cross-offshore breeze will keep the water surface clean, but there’s just no power to work with. The swell period is all over the place, but the heights are pitiful. This is a gap that’s tough to swallow.

Then, around Thursday the 17th, things start to shake awake. Thursday morning, we see a jump to 7 feet from the east, with a 6-second period. The combined energy hits 351 (moderate), and the wind is cross-offshore from the ENE, making for clean conditions. It’s the first real sign of life. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy.

The standout for the whole 16-day window is Friday the 18th. That morning, Fenway Beach gets a solid 8 feet of east-southeast swell, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy cranking up to 844 (strong). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the ENE, so expect clean, lined-up waves. At 8 feet, this is expert territory—this is not a day for beginners. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s gonna be a proper session for those who know what they’re doing. The afternoon drops to 6 feet and 463 in energy, still clean, still good.

The following Saturday morning, the 19th, still has a rideable 4 feet from the ESE, but it’s dropping fast and the wind picks up to 15 mph, so it’s not the same quality. After that, the energy fades back into the 80s by Sunday, and we’re back to small, weak surf.

Bottom line: wait for the 17th and 18th. Thursday the 17th is a solid warm-up, but Friday the 18th morning is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s the only true standout—big, clean, and powerful. The rest of the fortnight is a flat wait.

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.
