Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for the Boscombe Pier region over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you, it's looking like a bit of a flat spell. The finder isn't throwing up any recommended sessions, so we're in for a long stretch of waiting. The first real signs of anything surfable don't really show until we get to the 10th of July, and even then, it's nothing to write home about. So, you're looking at a solid few days of small, choppy, messy stuff.
For the first week, we've got tiny windswells, mostly under 2 ft, with a lot of cross-onshore or onshore wind messing things up. The whole period is consistently marked as poor surf conditions. The water temp is a notable 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the wait won't be cold.
Around the 10th and 11th of July, we see the swell tick up a little. Friday the 10th brings a 4 ft to 4 ft swell from the east, with a short 5-second period, and the combined energy is sitting around 76 to 94, so it's weak. The wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore and fresh, making the surface lumpy and choppy. This continues through the weekend.
The 12th of July (Sunday) afternoon shows some potential with a 5 ft swell from the east, but again, a short 5-second period and a fresh cross-shore wind. The combined energy hits 122, which is moderate, but the wind and period just won't give you a clean wave. For any beginner, these waist-high plus waves with onshore chop will be a challenge. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
There's a tiny, clean window on the 18th of July (Saturday) afternoon. The swell is only 2 ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy. It's still a weak, short-period swell, but if you are desperate for a paddle, you could get some small, clean rollers.
Overall, there's no standout here. The most promising day, if you can call it that, is the 18th of July afternoon when it goes glassy. Even then, you're on a 2 ft, 4-second wave, so it's a longboard or a soft-top special. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, because in this area, the flat spells don't tend to last forever, but for now, it's a waiting game.

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.
