The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour, but the story’s the same.
It’s been a dry run at Fenway Beach, and frankly, it’s not looking good. From Sunday, August 30th right through to Saturday, September 12th, the surf is flat or nearly flat – ankle to knee-high junk with onshore wind messing it up. Over a week and a half of "poor surf conditions." Nothing to get out of bed for.
Here’s the only real chance: Monday morning, September 13th. The swell comes up to 4ft from the SSW, period is a short 5 seconds, but the wind turns cross-off from the WNW at 9 mph and the surface goes clean. The combined energy is moderate (116), so it’s not a total wasteland. That morning marks the first moment in the whole forecast where things are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." Still, it’s ordinary.
The rest of the second week offers mostly clean winds but tiny surf – 2-3ft from the south, with energies in the 50-80 range. On Saturday, September 12th, you get a 19 mph cross-off breeze, but only 2ft waves. That’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddling day.
No standout session here, mate. The only hint of a wave is the morning of September 13th, and it’s a modest one. Fenway’s a breakwater spot that can go quiet, and right now, it’s whisper-quiet. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a long, flat stretch.

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.
