Table - best surf conditions forecast for Boscombe Pier over the next 16 days.
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water at Boscombe Pier is sitting at 67°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 8°F above average. That’s a real treat.
Honestly, for the first proper stretch of the forecast, it's a bit of a write-off. There's a big gap with no real surf to speak of from the start all the way through until the 20th of July. The odd tiny wave pops up, but we're talking about knee-high slop, and the wind is often messy. It's just not worth getting wet for.
Things start to look a little more interesting on the morning of Monday the 21st of July. A brief pulse of 5ft swell from the east creeps in, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (127). The wind goes glassy, which is a major positive. The waves will be clean, but the period is short, so it'll be a bit fat and crumbly. It's the only real window of surfable waves in the whole 16-day outlook, so if you're desperate, it's the one to aim for. It's not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best we’ve got. After that, the wind swings onshore and the swell drops away again.
The rest of the period into the end of July is mostly onshore wind and small, weak swell. The occasional cross-off breeze keeps things looking clean, but with no height to back it up, it's not doing anyone any favours.
So, the verdict? There’s a very long gap of poor surf, then one very ordinary window on the 21st of July. It’s a tough run for Boscombe.

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.
