The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the 16-day window for Fenway Beach, and I’ve got to be straight with you—it’s a tough run. The whole period is plagued by tiny, weak swell, and the consistency is just not there for any decent surf. There’s a gap of about 13 days from the start until anything even remotely surfable shows up, and even then it’s pretty ordinary.
The water temp at Fenway Beach starts out at 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing special.
Now, the only time I’d even consider paddling out is on Wednesday, September 2nd, in the morning. That’s when we get a bit of a break. The wind will be light offshore from the north at 9 mph, giving us clean conditions. The swell is still tiny at 2 ft from the southeast, with a period of 11 seconds—that’s a long-period groundswell, which is usually better shaped, but it’s barely got any energy behind it, with a combined energy of only 82 (weak). Still, it’s the cleanest and most promising we’ll see all forecast.
For the rest of the period, every other day is blown out, choppy, or just flat. The swell is consistently under 3 ft, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making for messy, bumpy conditions. Not worth the wetsuit.
So, if you’re desperate, that Wednesday morning in September is your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for nothing.

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.
