The Lowdown
Gather 'round, surfers. Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day window for Fenway Beach (breakwater) is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions. The surf will be poor for the better part of the next two weeks, with only a few fleeting moments where it's barely worth a paddle. The water's sitting right around 70°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so a wetsuit is all you need.
The first hint of anything close to surfable doesn't arrive until Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We'll finally see a little bump of 3ft SSE swell rolling in. The wind will be light offshore from the NNW, which should clean things up nicely. The energy is mild (123), but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't be anything special. It's surfable, but "very ordinary" is the best we can say. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the whole thing falls apart.
We then hit another dead zone. Tuesday the 1st of September brings a long-period (14s) groundswell from the SSE, but it's a pathetic 0.7ft. The wind is howling offshore from the NE at 22 mph, which would be perfect if there was any wave to ride. There isn't.
The next, and frankly only, real standout pops up on Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. There's a clean 2ft SE swell (11s period) with a moderate offshore breeze from the N. The energy is low (84), but it's clean and the wind is right. Wednesday afternoon stays similar with a 2ft SSE swell and cross-offshore winds. This is the best the 16 days have to offer, but it's still small. For a breakwater setup, this isn't going to be a day for the history books.
The final notable event is on Thursday the 3rd of September. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSE, and the energy ramps up to a moderate 251. But it's a short-period (6s) windswell, arriving with rain and a light cross / cross-onshore wind. It's going to be a messy, lumpy, and very marginal day. The afternoon pushes 7ft (400 energy), but again, it's just a messy short-period swell with a light onshore breeze. This is one for the strong swimmers and those with a thick skin, not a fun surf.
Overall, this is a blank stretch of forecast. The area is just not set up for much. Don't hold your breath. Even the "best" days are small.
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.
