The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at the next couple of weeks for Fenway Beach.

The honest truth is, this stretch is a real desert for decent waves. We are in for a long, flat spell, with the first glimmer of anything surfable not arriving for over a week.

The water temperature at Fenway Beach is sitting at 69°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

We start off on Thursday the 20th with almost nothing. A tiny windswell of just 1ft from the SE with a weak period of 7 seconds. That onshore breeze is killing it. The energy is very weak (21). Friday the 21st through to the end of August is the same story: ankle to knee high dribble, mostly blown out or onshore. The combined energy barely gets into double digits, often reading between 15 and 93.

There is a notable gap of nine days with no worthwhile surf from the 20th right through to the morning of Saturday the 29th.

Then, on Saturday the 29th of August, we get a small pulse of life. The morning looks to be the only real standout in the whole forecast. Fenway Beach will see a 4ft SSE swell with an 8-second period. The big win here is the wind; it’s forecast to be glassy. That’s the main positive. The combined energy reads 167, which is in the moderate bracket, so there will be some push. It’s still a small, short-period swell so don't expect perfection, but it will be the cleanest you’ll see it all month. The crowds could be an issue as this is the only show in town, so get in early.

After that brief window, it goes back to junk through the end of August and into the first few days of September. But keep an eye on the 3rd and 4th of September. On the 3rd of September, morning and afternoon shows clean conditions with a NE cross-offshore breeze and a 4ft SE swell. The energy reads 166-170. Best of all, on the morning of the 4th of September, the wind swings NNE and goes offshore, with a 4ft ESE swell. This is a promising setup, but it's a week and a half out, so treat it with caution.

The harsh reality is that for a break with a breakwater setup, the small, short-period swells are barely going to wrap in. This spot needs a bit more grunt than what's on offer. Honestly, with the onshore winds and choppy conditions we’ve got for most of the run, kites and windsurfers might have a better time of it than a paddle surfer.

Stay patient, savour that morning of the 29th if you can.

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.
