Alright mate, let’s talk about what’s happening at the Boscombe Pier. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet picture for the next sixteen days. The first few days are completely flat, so you’re looking at a long gap with nothing to ride. You’ll be better off finding another hobby for a bit.
The first sign of something you could actually paddle for doesn’t show up until the afternoon of Monday, July 14th. Even then, it’s a weak 3ft easterly swell with a short, 5-second period and a combined energy of only 56. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” so don’t get your hopes up. The wind is a gentle cross-off, keeping it clean, and the water is about average for this time of year.
The pick of the whole run looks to be the afternoon of Wednesday, July 16th. The swell picks up to 5ft from the east, still with a short 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 119 – that’s a moderate, punchy little wave. What makes it the stand-out is the wind: a light breeze from the north-northeast, keeping it glassy and clean. It’s a beach and pier setup, so that short period means short, dumpy peaks, but it’s the biggest swell we’ll see. You might get a few fun ones if you’re in the right spot.
Then on Thursday, July 17th, the afternoon goes completely glassy with a 2ft south-west swell, but it’s got a tiny 4-second period and only 16 on the energy scale. It’ll look pretty, but you’ll be fighting for anything to stand up on.
The following week stays small and inconsistent. The morning of Saturday, July 19th, has a 4ft south-west swell with a 6-second period, and a moderate offshore wind keeping it clean. The energy is 115, so there’s something there, but it’s nothing special. The afternoon of the same day has a 5ft swell but with a fresh cross-off wind, which will mess it up a bit.
So, it’s a quiet stretch. The water is about average for the season. If you’re keen for a session, Wednesday the 16th of July afternoon is your best shout, but keep your expectations on the ground.

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.
