The Lowdown
Alright, this is a bit of a tough one to call. Looking at the 16-day window for Fenway Beach, there’s a long stretch of nothing burger on offer. The first sign of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Saturday the 19th of September, and even then, it’s just a flicker of life.
The pattern here is real quiet. From the start of the period right through to the 18th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, with weak energy levels (often under 30). The wind is a mix of cross-on or cross-off, but it doesn’t matter much when there’s no wave to ride. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.
The only standout – and I mean the *only* one – is the morning of Saturday the 19th. We finally see a pulse of swell from the ESE at 3 ft, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy climbing to 98. That’s still weak energy, but it’s the most we’ve seen. The wind is offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s a very small wave, best for the beginner crew, and it’s a breakwater setup so it’ll be a bit soft. The crowd factor is “sometimes” here, so you might have a few others out, but it’s not likely to be packed.
The rest of that weekend offers nothing. The morning of the 20th shows a tiny 2 ft with offshore wind, but at 64 energy, it’s still too weak to get excited about.
So, bottom line: you’ve got nearly two weeks of flat calm. If you’re desperate for a splash, the 19th morning is your only shot. It’s a one-day wonder, and a small one at that. For a full-on surf session, this ain’t it.

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.
