The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let's not sugarcoat it: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and funky for Fenway Beach. We've got a long stretch of small, weak surf and tricky winds, so don't get your hopes up too high. The water's sitting at 69°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the rubber feels normal.
The first few days are a total washout. Wednesday and Thursday have some tiny 0.3ft to 5ft bumps, but the wind is all over the shop – cross-shore and choppy – so it's going to be a mess. The energy is weak, with readings around 9 to 190. Friday through to Monday (the 11th to the 14th) is still dribbly with 0.7ft to 2ft surf, and even though Saturday morning is glassy, there's just nothing to ride.
We finally see a bit of life from the 16th of September onwards, but it's still not the good stuff. A 3ft southwest swell rolls in on Wednesday the 16th, with moderate energy in the 74-76 range, but the wind is cross-shore again, making it lumpy. A week later, on Saturday the 19th, there are a couple of cleaner windows with offshore and cross-offshore winds and a 4ft to 4ft southwest swell by Sunday the 20th. The energy picks up to a moderate 238 on Sunday morning, and with those clean conditions, it might be worth a paddle. But the period is short, around 5-6 seconds, so it won't have much push.
After that, it's back to small, clean but tiny conditions. The best of a bad bunch is Sunday the 20th of September. It's still a far cry from good, but it's the most surfable window in the whole 16 days. If you're desperate for a splash, that's your moment. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
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.
