Fenway Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty, and here's the outlook for Fenway Beach.

Alright, mate, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Fenway Beach over the next 16 days. The swell is small and mostly weak, with only a brief window that might get your hopes up, but even then it's a marginal call. Let's walk through the highlights – or lack thereof.

Right now, through Thursday the 27th of August and Friday the 28th, it's tiny surf with swell around 2ft from the southeast, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, sitting at just 60–85 (weak energy), so don't bother paddling out. Saturday the 29th sees a bit of variety with a morning window of clean conditions thanks to a light NNE wind, but the swell is a weak 2ft from the south with a short period of 6 seconds – not much to work with. The energy is only 51 (weak energy). The rest of the weekend into early next week stays poor, with tiny swell under 3ft and mostly cross-onshore winds.

Now, there's a bit of a rise starting Wednesday the 2nd of September, with swell building to 3ft from the east, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. The energy climbs to 95 (weak energy). Not great. Thursday the 3rd of September is the closest thing to a standout in this whole run. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the east-southeast, with a period of 8 seconds and clean conditions thanks to a cross-offshore ENE breeze at 12 mph. The combined energy hits 318 (moderate wave energy), which is the most oomph we'll see. Fenway Beach is a breakwater setup, fairly exposed, and this southeast swell is right in the optimum direction. However, the score is only marginal due to tide or quality concerns, and with 5ft, it's getting a bit much for beginners but still manageable if you're comfortable. The wind is clean, so it could offer some fun waves, but don't expect perfection. After that, the swell drops back quickly, and from Friday the 4th through the rest of the forecast, we're back to tiny, weak surf under 3ft with poor conditions. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, no anomaly to speak of.

To be honest, mate, there's no real standout here. The best bet is Thursday morning, September 3rd, at Fenway Beach, with a 5ft east-southeast swell and clean cross-offshore wind. It's the only time the energy gets moderate (318), but it's still a marginal call. The rest of the 16 days are a wipeout – small, weak, and often choppy. If you're desperate, that Thursday morning might give you a few, but don't expect much else.

Rusty.
