The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. I'm looking at Fenway Beach.
Overall, it's a pretty quiet stretch. We've got a long run of small, choppy conditions and onshore winds that just won't give us a break for the first week and a half. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing wild there.
We kick off on Friday the 28th of August, but it's a no-go. Tiny 2ft swell from the southeast with a short 8-second period and a cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy is a measly 82 – that's weak. Saturday the 29th is similar, though Saturday morning we do get a clean offshore wind from the north, but the swell drops to 2ft. That's barely a ripple. Sunday the 30th into the next week is more of the same, with moderate breezes kicking up chop and the swell bouncing between 1ft and 2ft. There's a lot of rain and onshore wind in there too.
We do get a few clean mornings on the 31st of August, the 4th and 5th of September, but the swell is just too tiny to surf. The energy is consistently under 100. This kind of blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it's not unusual for this spot.
Finally, things get interesting around the 11th of September. On Friday the 11th, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the south, with moderate combined energy of 214. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it'll be a little wobbly but rideable. Saturday the 12th holds a similar 4ft swell from the south, with energy at 157, and light cross-shore winds again. The period is short, around 7-8 seconds, so the waves will be a bit crumbly.
The standout, if you can call it that, is probably the morning of Saturday the 12th of September. We’ll have a 4ft S swell with light cross-shore winds. It's not epic, but after two weeks of nothing, it'll be the best on offer. The swell is too small for any real power, and the direction isn't quite the optimum SE, but you'll get a few rides.
So there you have it. A long dry spell, then a little window of mediocre but surfable waves. Keep an eye on the forecasts, it doesn't tend to stay this poor for long around here.
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.
