The Lowdown

Alright, let me tell you about Fenway Beach. It’s a bit of a quiet stretch, being a breakwater setup. The water temps are about average for this time of year, nothing wild going on there.

Honestly, mate, the outlook for the next two and a half weeks is pretty flat. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From now right through until the middle of the month, there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show up until Wednesday the 9th of September, and even then, it's a bit iffy.

The first bit of action on Wednesday the 9th morning sees a little bump in swell, maybe about 4ft out of the SSW with a combined energy reading of (113). That’s moderate energy, but the wind is cross-onshore and that’s going to chop it up. It's the same story in the afternoon and into Thursday the 10th, with stronger onshore breezes making a mess of things. Very poor quality.

The next best-looking window comes in the second weekend. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th show some swell, getting up to 3ft on Saturday from the SSW and 3ft on Sunday from the south. But Saturday has those light cross-onshore winds again. Sunday the 13th afternoon is cleaner, with a weak offshore breeze from the NNW. The swell is only about 2ft on a short period (6 seconds), so it’s not going to have much push. Still, with clean conditions and combined energy around (69), it might be your best quiet paddle for a learner on the smaller days. You'll be sharing the water with other beginners sometimes, but it won't be crowded.

Looking far out to Tuesday the 15th of September, we get another pulse. The morning shows a 4ft south swell with a combined energy of (235), which is strong wave energy, but the period is only 7 seconds and it’s coming in with a cross-onshore wind. It’s going to be lumpy and choppy. A bigger, messier day.

Through the end of the forecast into Wednesday the 16th, it’s back to small and choppy. There’s no standout surf here. It’s just a blank run for the area, really. For a kite surfer, those windy, choppy days in the second week might look more interesting than for a paddle surfer.

Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.

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.
