The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk Fenway Beach. Honestly, for the next 16 days, there’s not much to get stoked about. The first week and a half is a bust—tiny surf, messy wind, poor conditions. You’re looking at a long gap until early September before anything even worth mentioning.

Come Wednesday, September 9th in the morning, things get marginally interesting. Swell is still small, only 2ft from the SSE, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds, giving it some long‑period groundswell energy. The wind is light cross‑offshore, keeping it clean, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate at 141. Not a classic day, but after all the flatness, it’s the best bet. Water temp is around 69°F with a normal anomaly for this time of year.

Thursday, September 10th morning also shows a tiny 2ft SSE swell with an 11‑second period, but the wind goes glassy—dead calm. That’ll give you clean, glassy conditions, but again, wave height is minimal. Combined energy drops to 109, still moderate.

Fenway is a fairly consistent break, fairly exposed to SE swell, but this run is a quiet one. The first week is plagued by onshore and cross‑onshore winds, and even when the swell tries to show up around the 8th and 9th, it never gets above 2ft. Not a spot for beginners or experts right now—just ankle‑to‑knee high dribble with the odd longer period set. It’s a dry spell that feels more like waiting than riding. Forecasts change, though, so don’t lose hope.

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.
