The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. I'm looking at the full 16-day window here, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch for Fenway Beach. We've got a long, long gap of nothing really worth paddling out for.
From now through to the 4th of September, the wave heights are tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, with the odd bump. The combined energy is weak, reading between 19 and 78 (weak energy). The wind is mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or cross-shore, but it's not doing us any favors. There are a few clean windows on the 29th of August morning with a light NE cross-offshore breeze, and again on the 1st of September with an offshore wind, but the swell just isn't there. It's all short-period, under 8 seconds, so it's just slop. Honestly, this is a kite surfer's setup more than a paddle surfer's.
There's a bit of a pulse around the 5th of September. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the ESE, but the period is a weak 5-6 seconds. The wind is clean and offshore from the NNE, but that energy reading is still only 95-99 (weak energy). It's a step up, but for Fenway, it's still going to be pretty messy and fat.
After that, it drops right back down to tiny, weak surf for the rest of the period, finishing on the 11th of September.
So, the honest truth? There are no standouts. The only day I'd even consider peeking at the water is the morning of the 5th of September. The swell is the biggest we'll see, and the wind is clean off the land. It'll be about 4ft of short, weak ESE swell. But if you're a beginner, that's probably too much, and for everyone else, it's just not going to have any power. It's a long-range hope that's probably not worth the drive.
With only one break to look at and a long gap of poor conditions, this is one of those periods where you hang the board up, check the forecast again in a few days, and hope it changes.

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.
