The Lowdown
Let’s be straight up about Boscombe Pier for the next couple of weeks. There’s just no surf to get excited about. Every single day is called as poor conditions, so we’re looking at a long dry spell for paddle surfing.
The water is warm, sitting at 70°F right now, which is a massive 9°F warmer than average for this time of year – that’s well above normal.
Friday the 24th kicks off with flat calm conditions and onshore breezes. Saturday the 25th morning offers a 0.3ft westerly bump with clean conditions, but it’s barely a ripple with almost no energy. The afternoon sees 2ft from the southwest, but a 4-second period and 30 km/h cross-shore winds make it a lumpy mess.
Sunday the 26th is the most size we’ll see, with 3ft to 4ft from the WSW and clean, cross-offshore winds. But the period is still short at 5 seconds and the energy is weak. You could float a log on it, but that’s about it.
From Monday the 27th through the end of the first week, it’s all tiny surf, weak energy, and mostly onshore or cross-shore wind. There’s a glimpse of a clean, offshore wind on Friday the 31st morning, but the swell is only 1ft.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Some 2ft to 2ft bumps show up but the winds are usually onshore or messy. A 40 km/h cross-offshore wind on Sunday the 2nd will just tear up the tiny 2ft waves. The energy finally ticks up to moderate on Tuesday the 4th afternoon with a 3ft WSW swell, but it’s accompanied by a 25 km/h onshore wind, making it choppy and rough. Even with some longer period swells later, the winds won’t cooperate.
Bottom line: for the next 16 days, don’t plan on paddling out at Boscombe Pier. If you’re into kite surfing, some of those windier days might offer a bit of fun, but for a surfboard, it’s a blank run.

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.
