The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a real slow start. From right now all the way through to Monday, September 7th, every look at Fenway Beach is showing nothing but poor surf. We're talking tiny, weak waves, mostly around 0.5ft to 2ft, with short periods and hardly any energy. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
Finally, on Monday, September 7th, we get a pulse. The real standout is Monday afternoon. The swell comes up to a clean 6ft from the SSE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 282. The big win here is the wind: a light offshore breeze from the NW, giving us clean, cross-off conditions. This breakwater spot can handle that SSE swell, and with clean lines and average water temp for the season, it's the best bet by a mile. Crowds are listed as 'sometimes', so you might see a few others, but it won't be a zoo. The size is fun but not overwhelming.
Tuesday the 8th still has some leftover energy (234) with clean morning winds and a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind turns onshore in the afternoon, so get your session in early. From Wednesday the 9th on, it's back to onshores and chop, even though the energy readings get bigger (over 400 on the 11th). That bigger swell on the 10th and 11th (around 4ft to 5ft) is going to be blown out and messy with those strong cross-onshore winds – might be better for the kite surfers than us.
So, the long and short of it: wait it out through this week. The only real window to paddle out for a decent wave is Monday afternoon, September 7th, at Fenway with that clean, offshore 6ft SSE swell. That's your target.
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.
