The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gettin' real with you – this 16-day window for Fenway Beach is a tough one. It's pretty much a flat spell from the 22nd of August all the way through the 6th of September. Every session is tagged "poor surf conditions," so there's a big ol' dry gap here. Not one standout session to get excited about.
Fenway Beach is a breakwater setup, fairly exposed, and it's a beginner-friendly spot. Water temp is normal for the season. But the problem is obvious: the waves just aren't showing up. Swell heights are stuck between 1 ft and 3 ft, and even that rare bump to 3 ft from the South on the 24th (Monday) comes with a short, weak 7-second period and messy cross-on wind. The combined energy is moderate at best (107), but it's all chop and no shape.
Now, on the morning of the 28th (Friday), the wind drops to zero and it goes glassy – clean as a whistle. But the swell is barely 1 ft from the SE with a weak 9-second period, and the energy is tiny (30). It’s not gonna do anything. The later days, like the 1st and 3rd of September, see clean offshore winds, but the swell is still just 1 ft to 2 ft scraps. Nothing to paddle for.
This spot is fairly consistent, so a blank stretch like this is unusual, but it’s what we’ve got. The tiny, weak swell and onshore winds make this setup more interesting for a kite than a paddle. Best to sit this one out, boys. Forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the shed.
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.
