The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are a bit of a write-off for Boscombe Pier. There’s just nothing on the cards that’s worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and poor conditions, with a few pop-ups that never really get their act together.
The first real chance at anything happens on Thursday the 23rd of July. The morning brings a bit of a pulse with 4ft swell from the east, but it’s a short period of 6 seconds and a cross-shore wind. The energy is weak, and the surf will be messy. The afternoon drops to 3ft and the wind stays cross-shore, making it choppy. Not a standout.
The only stretch that might get your heart rate up is around Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July. On Monday afternoon, the swell hits 6ft from the west-southwest, with a period of 6 seconds and moderate energy. That’s a bit of size, but it’s onshore from the south-southeast, so it’s choppy and those waves won’t be holding up. The water temp is a notable 69°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, thanks to a big anomaly of 9°F. That’s unusual.
The following Wednesday morning, the 29th of July, sees the highest energy of the whole run, with 5ft swell from the southwest at 6 seconds. But again, the wind is cross-onshore, and the surf quality is poor. It’s not beginner-friendly – over 5ft – but it’s not clean enough for anyone else to really enjoy.
Bottom line: the whole 16-day window is a bust. The surf is either flat, weak, or blown out. Boscombe Pier is an inconsistent spot, and this run is a proper blank spell. It’s the kind of stretch where you’d be better off checking the forecast again tomorrow. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

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.
