Right. Pull up a seat. Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got on the cards.
To be straight with you, this 16-day window is a tough one for Boscombe Pier. There’s a big, dusty gap of nothing worthwhile right through until late in the run. The first half of the period is nearly a write-off, with tiny waves, wonky winds, and a whole lot of nothing. The water is currently sitting at a very unusual 63°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a bit of a surprise if you’re getting in.
The first hint of anything worth a look doesn’t arrive until Friday the 17th of July, during the morning. We finally get a bit of a pulse in the water – a 1.0m swell bumping in from the WSW, with a period of 6 seconds, giving us a combined wave energy of 115 (moderate energy). The wind goes glassy, and that’s the one clean window you’ll get. It’s a beach and pier setup here, so with that short period, it’ll be a bit fat and maybe closing out, but it’ll be rideable. It’s not a standout by any stretch – it’s just the only time you can paddle out without a fight.
For a moment there on Wednesday the 22nd of July, the swell tries to muscle up, hitting about 5 ft from the WSW with a fresh offshore cross-off wind (WNW), giving us a combined energy of 155 (moderate). That’s a bigger wave, but the swell is still a short 6 seconds, and that size at a beach break during the week might just be a messy, lumpy close-out. The conditions look cleaner, but the quality is poor.
Honestly, it’s a bleak run. If there’s a day to drag the board out, make it the morning of Friday the 17th. Otherwise, the forecast might change, but as it stands, Boscombe is serving up a long quiet spell.
Rusty.

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.
