The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk surf. We’ve got a couple of weeks that are looking pretty lackluster down at Fenway Beach. It's a lot of weak, small swell and not much wind that’s doing us any favors. You’re gonna have to be patient and pick your spots.

Right off the bat, Tuesday afternoon the 18th has some small 3ft swell from the SSE, but that cross-on breeze is just chopping it all up. Water temp is about 70°, which is normal for this time of year. Not worth getting wet for.

Wednesday and Thursday are even smaller, dropping to around 2ft to 2ft. There’s a clean window Thursday morning with a light offshore, but with that tiny swell and weak energy, you’re just bobbing around out there. Not a wave worth paddling for.

Friday the 21st is much the same. Tiny 1ft swell, clean in the morning with a light cross-offshore, but it’s just not doing anything. Saturday gets messy again with a poor cross-shore wind and a junky little 3ft blip of short-period energy. Sunday cleans up a touch with some 2ft swell, but it's too weak to matter. Then we’ve got a real flat spell from Monday the 24th morning through to Friday the 28th morning. We’re talking a solid few days of almost nothing. The swell stays under 3ft and the energy is pitiful. It’s a good time to get the fishing gear out.

The first real sign of life comes on Saturday the 29th of August. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is finally getting some legs, at 223. The real hero here is the wind - it’s forecast to be glassy in the morning. That’ll clean up the breakwater and make it look a whole lot better than it has been. It’s still a beginner spot so 4ft is manageable, but it’s not huge. This is the stand-out window, but don’t expect perfection. It’s just surfable and clean. The afternoon gets a bit more cross-on, so get on it early.

Sunday the 30th has a similar 3ft of south swell, but it’s a bit more crossed off with a moderate breeze. It’ll be okay, but Saturday morning is the call.

After that, the swell fades again into Monday the 31st, with just small leftovers. Then next week, we start to see a bit of a pulse. Tuesday the 1st of September has that offshore wind and building swell up to 3ft in the afternoon. The energy is still only moderate though. Then Wednesday the 2nd looks a little more promising, with 4ft of south-southeast swell and cleaner conditions in the morning. The energy is up to 154, so there’s a bit more push behind it. It’s still a long way off, so don’t book the day off yet, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

Overall, the best bet in this whole stretch is the glassy dawn patrol on Saturday the 29th. Everything else is pretty much a skunk. The long flat spell in the middle of the week is a bummer, but this spot can switch on quick. Fingers crossed those forecasts for next week firm up.

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.
