The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. This is going to be a rough outlook for Fenway Beach. There’s no good surf to be found in this whole 16-day window.
Right now, things are flat and the conditions are poor. Starting Sunday the 13th, you’re looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the southeast with a short 10-second period and heavy rain on top of it – the combined wave energy is a weak 36. Not worth getting wet for. That sets the tone for the rest of the run.
Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are more of the same: tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, with wind switching around but never really doing us any favors. The energy is sitting in the low double digits and single digits most of the time. It’s poor surf conditions across the board. Midweek through the following Monday, September 28th, is a long stretch of nothing. We’re talking day after day of knee-high dribble, if that. The swell direction is mostly east-southeast or south, with periods all over the place from 5 seconds up to 12 seconds, but never enough size to do anything with. The combined swell energy barely cracks 100. There are a few mornings with clean-looking cross-offshore winds from the north and northeast, but the swell is just too small. On the afternoon of September 20th, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the south, but it’s a short-period 7-second wind swell, and the onshore wind messes up what little potential it had. The energy hits 126 (moderate), but it’s attached to "poor surf conditions."
The only thing that really changes is the wind – we get days of clean, cross-offshore breezes, but without a proper swell, that’s just a flat and pretty ocean. For a beginner-friendly breakwater setup, you’d be lucky to find anything ankle-high that’s rideable. Honestly, with the onshore winds and tiny chop, this looks more like a stretch for a kite than a paddle. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
