Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, looking at the whole 16-day run for this stretch, it’s a pretty grim picture. We’ve got a total flat spell on our hands for the vast majority of the period. The only real pulse of energy shows up right at the very end, but even then, the conditions are messy.
Starting right now, from Thursday the 2nd of July right through to the 16th of July, we’re looking at practically zero surf. There’s a tiny bit of energy on Saturday the 4th, with a messy 3ft swell and a terrible 4-second period, but it’s blown out by a moderate breeze. It’s not worth getting wet for. Almost every day in that stretch has either a weak swell combined with strong cross-shore winds or flat calm conditions. The combined energy barely cracks double digits most days, bottoming out at just 2 (weak energy) on Tuesday the 7th. It’s the kind of run where you’re better off waxing your board and watching the tide come in.
The only thing that remotely qualifies as a standout is the very tail end. On Friday the 17th of July, we finally see a jump in energy. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the WSW, but it’s short-period at 5 seconds and hits with a moderate cross-onshore wind, leaving it choppy. The afternoon is the best of a bad bunch: the swell builds to 5ft from the WSW with that same short 5-second period. The combined energy hits a moderate 119 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is still a gentle cross-onshore. It’s not clean, it’s not powerful, and it won’t be fun. For the more experienced crew, you might find a lumpy, racy wave, but beginners should stay well clear—that 5ft is going to be a washing machine on a beach/pier setup. Given the wind and chop, this actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
In short, we’ve got a solid 15-day drought with nothing to report, and then a marginal, choppy end. The water, when we finally do get a reading on the 2nd, is a very unusual 66°F—a massive 8°F warmer than normal for July. That’s a real shocker to the system.
Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
