The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. It’s a bleak picture for Boscombe Pier for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a lot of flat, windy days ahead, and the few times a little bump shows up, the wind usually ruins it.

The first real chance of a surf is on the 8th of August. Saturday morning, we’ve got a 4ft swell from the SW, and the wind is totally glassy. That’s a rare moment of peace. The combined energy is weak (88), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it won’t have much power, but it’ll be clean. The afternoon on the same day gets a little bigger, up to 5ft from the SW, with moderate energy (106), but the wind swings cross-on, making it choppy.

The 9th of August is the other day to look at. Sunday morning has a 3ft swell from the WSW with a clean offshore wind from the N. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean. The afternoon goes glassy again with a 4ft swell from the WSW, but the period is short (5 seconds) so it’s not packing much punch. The combined energy is weak (75 and 56).

For the best of a bad bunch, the glassy morning of the 8th with that 4ft swell is the pick. The morning of the 9th with the 3ft swell and clean offshore wind is a close second, and likely the more user-friendly wave.

The water is a balmy 71°F, which is far warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be in a shorty or boardshorts.

Other than those two mornings, the forecast is a barren wasteland. There are long stretches of days with no surf to speak of, and the wind is a constant problem. It’s a tough one for Boscombe right now. Just keep an eye on the charts.

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.
