The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks around Boscombe Pier. It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. The whole first week is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. You’ve got small, weak swells and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing crazy there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Thursday the 17th of September. The morning sees a big jump in energy, with a solid 12ft swell from the WSW. The combined energy is a hefty 1516, which is serious. But here’s the thing - that’s way too big for this break. It’ll be a washing machine out there, only for the experts, and even then it’s a handful. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not totally clean, but the swell is the main story. It’s likely a no-go for most of us.
After that, the outlook settles back into a bit of a lull. There’s another pulse on Saturday the 19th of September with a 8ft swell from the same direction, but the wind is back onshore, ruining any chance of quality. The combined energy is 547, so there’s power, but it’s not surfable in a nice way. The rest of the period into the 22nd is small again, with clean winds but hardly any swell to speak of. Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The only real event is that massive swell on the 17th, but it’s not a recommendation for a fun session. Sometimes you just have to wait for the next proper window.

A general guide to surfing at Boscombe Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
