The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long, flat stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a dud for surf, so grab a beer and don’t bother paddling out.
The first sniff of a wave comes on Tuesday, September 8th at Fenway Beach, but it’s a joke. Tiny 0.3ft of SE swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a pathetic 6. The water is sitting at 69°, which is about average for this time of year. The wind is a cross-off, so it’s clean, but you’re not going to get wet for it. The whole week stays flat. The swell tries to pick up a bit on Thursday, September 10th – we get a 5ft pulse from the SSW, but it’s a messy, short-period windswell (7 seconds) with a cross-onshore wind blowing at 15 mph. The combined energy jumps to 230 (moderate), but the wave comment says it all – poor surf. With that size and onshore wind, this is a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one. The wind stays ugly for Thursday.
Friday, September 11th morning offers a tiny glimmer. The swell drops back to 2ft, still from the S, but the wind turns offshore from the NNW at 9 mph. The combined energy is weak (46), and the period is short (7 seconds), so it’s clean but still gutless. After that, we slide into a whole week of nothing. From Saturday, September 12th through to Monday, September 21st, the swell never gets above 4ft, and most days it’s under 2ft with weak energy. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, making it choppy and useless. The combined energy stays below 100 nearly every day – it’s dead.
Tuesday, September 15th morning brings a 3ft E swell, but it’s a 5-second period with a 15 mph cross-off wind. Clean, but not surfable. The best-looking day for actual conditions is Thursday, September 17th – a proper offshore from the N at 15 mph in the morning, dropping to 6 mph in the afternoon. But the swell is only 1.0ft to 1ft. Clean as a whistle, but you’ll be floating. The last few days, from Saturday, September 19th onward, we get a 12-second period SE swell, but it’s only 0.3ft to 0.7ft. The combined energy is 9 to 15 – just a whisper.
The standout? There isn’t one. The best wave of the whole period is the 5ft on Thursday, September 10th, but the wind ruins it. If you’re desperate, paddle out on Friday, September 11th morning for the offshore wind, but don’t expect a ride. Sometimes the forecast changes, but this blank run is pretty normal for the area. Keep your board in the car and your eyes on the horizon.
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.
