The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at this 16-day window, it’s a tough one for Fenway Beach. The overall picture is pretty flat and uninspiring for most of the run. The water temp is sitting around 68°, which is basically average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We start off with a real dud. From Friday 4th September right through to Wednesday 9th September, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. We’re talking swells below 2 ft with weak energy (down around 8 to 41) and poor conditions. The wind is mostly cross-off or light, but there’s just nothing to ride. You’d be better off taking a week off.
Then Thursday 10th September rolls in with a bit of a pulse, but it’s a strange one. The morning sees a 8 ft SW swell, which is a solid size, but the period is only 8 seconds. That’s a short-period windswell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that nice push. The energy is strong (1001), but the wind is a fresh 30 km/h cross-off from the WNW. That’s clean, but that size at 8 ft is getting into expert-only territory, and at a breakwater setup like Fenway, it’s gonna be a beast. The afternoon drops to 5 ft, still windy, and the score is poor. This is the only day with any real size, but it’s not recommended for anyone but the most experienced.
After that, we’re back to the small stuff. From Friday 11th September all the way through to Saturday 19th September, the swell is mostly under 1 ft. The energy is almost non-existent, mostly in the single or low double digits. There’s a brief flutter on Monday 14th September with a 5 ft SW swell in the morning and a 4 ft SW swell in the afternoon, but it’s still a short 6-second period and the wind is messy. The energy is moderate (172 and 233), but the conditions are “poor.” It’s just not going to be fun.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The only real “wave” of any note is that 8 ft swell on Thursday 10th, but with the short period, strong wind, and expert-only size, it’s a miss for the average surfer. The rest of the 16 days is a flat, quiet affair. The long gap from the start all the way through to that Thursday, and then back to nothing, is a real bummer. For a beach setup like this, it’s more of a kite-surfing day on the 10th than a paddle session. Keep the board in the car and keep an eye on the sky – it won’t stay this quiet forever.
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.
