The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our local stretch. I’ll be honest, it’s a grim outlook for the next sixteen days. We’ve got a massive gap of tiny, useless surf right from the start.
From now up until the morning of the 10th of September, it’s dead flat. Swell heights are barely a foot, with wave energy figures so low they’re in the single digits. The water temp is about normal for the season, so no surprises there, just no waves.
Things try to kick off on the morning of the 10th of September at Fenway Beach (breakwater). A short-period SSW wind swell comes in at 6 feet. The energy bumps up to 267 (moderate), giving it some push, but with a fresh cross-shore wind at 18 mph, it’s going to be choppy and lumpy. That size is too much for beginners, and with that wind, it’s honestly looking better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer in the afternoon.
The 11th of September is our best shout. The wind swings NW at 18 mph, blowing cross-offshore, cleaning up the 3 feet of swell. The energy is still moderate at 103. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but it will be the cleanest we see all run. This is the one window to get a few grovelly ones in if you’re keen.
After that, it’s back to the dead zone. From the 12th of September onward, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Everything is under 2 feet, with weak energy and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds messing it up. A tiny spike on the 15th of September afternoon shows 3 feet, but it’s from the WSW with a fresh onshore wind at 18 mph. It’ll be a bumpy, choppy mess with 121 (moderate) energy.
The very last call on the 19th of September shows 4 feet from the ESE with a moderate cross-shore wind, giving us 178 (moderate) energy. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be a classic.
The only real standout is the morning of the 11th of September at Fenway Beach. The clean 3 feet of SSW swell with that cross-offshore breeze will be the only time where the lineup isn’t a total write-off. Everything else in the second week is a bust.
That’s the long and short of it. A very quiet season so far.
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.
