Alright mates, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what’s cookin' for Boscombe Pier over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with ya—it's a quiet stretch. We got a long dry spell ahead, so don't get your hopes up too early.
We're looking at a big gap from Sunday the 5th of July, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The swell is ankle-snappers, the wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the notes are reading "poor surf conditions" over and over. The combined energy is showing weak numbers, mostly under 100. Water temp is sitting at 67°, which is much warmer than usual—about 8° above average for this time of year, so you might be able to go with a spring suit if you're brave, but that's the only silver lining.
A little bump of energy shows up around the 10th and 11th of July. We see some 4ft swell coming from the East, but with a real short period of just 5 to 6 seconds. That's not gonna give you any grunt. The combined energy gets into the moderate range (107 on the Saturday morning), but the wind is either cross or cross-on, meaning it’s gonna be lumpy and choppy. Not a standout, but it’s the most size you’ll see for a bit.
The one true highlight—and I mean the only one worth setting an alarm for—is Monday the 20th of July, first light. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a lake. We got about 4ft of swell out of the WSW, period still short at 5 seconds, with combined energy at 59 (weak). The notes finally say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". For Boscombe Pier, that’s your moment. Glassy conditions on a small day mean the surface will be smooth, giving you the best chance to milk whatever that short-period energy has to offer. Crowds are liable to show up when it's glassy (listed as sometimes), so be prepared for company. It won't be epic, but compared to the rest of the run, this is as good as it gets. By the afternoon, the window shuts with a fresh cross-onshore SW wind at 18 mph, ruining the surface completely.
So to wrap it up: keep your eyes on a dawn patrol for Monday the 20th July at Boscombe Pier. Outside of that, it's a whole lot of nothing for two weeks. Windswept, weak, and forgettable.
I'm Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Boscombe Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Boscombe Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Boscombe Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Boscombe Pier 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 (Boscombe Pier) 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 Boscombe Pier 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.
