The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest, this is a tough one to call. We're looking at the next 16 days for the Boscombe Pier area, and I've got to tell you straight up, there's just nothing happening. The entire forecast window is a flat spell with a side of messy wind. We're looking at a solid run of days with no real surf on offer, so don't be holding your breath for a sneaky session.
Let's start with the immediate future. Sunday the 19th through to the end of July is a write-off. We're talking about days on end of tiny, unrideable bumps or flat calm. The swell energy is practically non-existent, with a combined energy reading of just 1 on Sunday afternoon, and that's about as good as it gets for a while. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-off, with the odd bit of clean conditions, but without any swell to push it, it's just a waste of a good breeze.
Moving into the end of July and the start of August, there's a slight uptick, but it's barely a ripple. On Monday the 27th of July, we see a combined energy of 44 (still weak), with a 3ft swell from the SW, but it's a short period windswell of 4 seconds. The morning wind is a cross-off from the WNW, which is the cleanest we'll see, but the waves will be weak and messy. After that, it's back to small, poor-quality waves with choppy onshore winds right through to the 3rd of August.
There is no standout session, no hidden gem. The swell is too small, the periods are too short, and the wind is rarely cooperating. For a beginner, there's nothing to learn on, and for the experienced crew, it's heartbreaking. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but you won't be in the water long enough to care.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially on the windier afternoons. But for us surfers? It's a long, flat wait. 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. 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.
