Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest about the next couple of weeks. It ain't lookin' pretty.
Over the whole 16-day window, there's just not a single standout session on offer. The combined swell energy tops out at a measly 80 (moderate wave energy) for one afternoon, but the wind is a mess. For the most part, we're looking at tiny, weak waves with poor conditions, so don't be holding your breath for any magic.
Starting off around Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th, it's a complete flat spell. Boscombe Pier is showing zero swell with a combined energy of just 3, and on Thursday morning you get a glassy ocean, but it's like a lake. The water temp is a very unusual 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing to get excited about.
Friday the 10th offers a tiny pulse: a 2ft swell from the east with a short, snappy period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is only 11, so it's weak. The wind is cross-shore, making it a bit lumpy. Not worth a paddle.
The weekend is a write-off. Saturday the 11th has a 2ft easterly swell with a weak energy of 24, but it's choppy from a cross-onshore breeze. Sunday the 12th is clean with offshore winds, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft. You'll be floating.
Things get a bit more interesting around Tuesday the 14th. The afternoon brings a 4ft easterly swell with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 80. That's the biggest wave height we'll see, but it's a short-period windswell, and the wind is a fresh cross-shore creating lumpy, messy conditions. It's a beach/pier setup, so it’s going to be a bit of a washing machine. Not great for a paddle, might be more fun for a kite.
From Wednesday the 15th onwards, it's the same old story. A few clean mornings with offshore winds, but the swell is tiny – 0.3ft to 0.7ft. The combined energy is stuck in single digits. The 16th has a morning offshore breeze and a 0.7ft swell, but it's a bore. The 18th, 19th, and 20th all have little to no energy. The second week is just a long, flat gap with occasional choppy, blown-out 0.3ft junk.
Honestly, there's nothing here to recommend. The whole 16-day window is a dud for Boscombe Pier. Keep the board in the car, but don't bother waxing it up. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.
Rusty.

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.

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.
