The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days at Fenway Beach are a real struggle. There's a long, dry spell of nothing worth paddling out for, from the start of the period all the way through to the morning of the 13th of September. That's nearly two weeks of tiny, weak, and often choppy conditions. The only real shout comes right at the tail end of the forecast.
The one standout is Sunday the 13th of September in the morning. Swell jumps up to a solid 7ft from the SSW, with a combined energy of 360 – that's proper moderate wave energy, and it's a big step up from the doldrums. The wind is glassy, dead calm, which is a major positive. This will be clean, but for a beach break, that 7ft swell is getting into expert territory; it's going to be powerful and a bit too much for beginners. The period is 7 seconds, which is short, so it'll be a bit lumpy and less lined up, but the glassy conditions will make it rideable for the experienced crew.
For the rest of the window, it's a write-off. The highest rating before that Sunday is a single "surfable waves" mention on the 14th, but it's paired with a cross-onshore wind and only 4ft, so it's not worth getting excited about. The water is sitting at a warm 70°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there watching flatness.
Look, it's a tough run. When it's this quiet for this long, it tends not to stay that way, and forecasts can shift. But for now, mark that Sunday 13th morning in your calendar if you're a strong surfer; otherwise, it's a long wait.
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.
