The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks, and I’m not gonna sugar-coat it – it’s a pretty lean period for Boscombe Pier. There’s a real dry spell in the surf forecast, with very little to get excited about.
Starting from Wednesday, September 9th, it’s mostly small, weak swell and messy conditions. Combined energy readings are barely hitting triple digits, which is weak. You get a little moment on the afternoon of Friday, September 11th when the waves are just barely surfable, with a 3-foot swell from the WSW at 8 seconds, but it’s a very ordinary session.
The only real size comes in on the afternoon of Saturday, September 12th, with a 5-foot swell from the WSW and combined energy hitting 164. That’s moderate, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 18 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. That’s a washout for this spot. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The one window that’s worth a look is the morning of Thursday, September 18th. It’s tiny, just 2 feet from the WSW, but the wind is blowing offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, and the sky is clear. It’ll be clean as a whistle. The afternoon is even cleaner with a light offshore breeze on a 2-foot swell. For a beginner-friendly beach break like this, that’s your only shot at something decent. The period is very short though, under 5 seconds, so don’t expect any power.
After that, the second week dries up completely. The swell is tiny and the wind is all over the place.
So, the only standout I can call is the morning of Thursday, 18th September. It’s not pumping, but under a clear sky with that offshore wind, it’ll be the cleanest we see all outlook.

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.
