Alright, grab a seat. I'm Rusty, and I've been staring at the charts for Boscombe Pier. Let me tell you, it's been a rough stretch for us. We're going to have to wait a long time for a proper wave, almost two weeks.
Looking at the next 16 days, it's a real slow-mo train wreck of tiny, messy swell for the most part. The water here is running a crazy 66.9° – that's much warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least the paddle won’t be a cold one, but there's nothing to catch on it. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until the morning of Friday the 18th of July. Up until then, we’re looking at a solid 15-day gap of "poor surf conditions" – flukey 0.3ft to 3.3ft slop, bad wind, and no energy. A couple of afternoons, like the 11th of July, see a jump in swell height to 4.6ft from the East, but with a short, weak 6-second period and marginal wind, it's just a messy close-out. The energy readings are mostly in the single digits and low tens (2 to 37) – just totally flat.
Then, finally, on the morning of the 17th of July, things start to change. We get a 3.6ft swell from the SW with a 7-second period, moderate energy (136), and clean cross-offshore winds from the WNW. That’s a glimmer. But the real standout comes the very next morning.
The Best on Offer: That is Saturday the 18th of July morning. The swell wraps in at 2.6ft from the WSW with a 7-second period. The energy is still only moderate (79), but the wind swings perfectly offshore from the N, giving us gentle offshore and clean conditions. For this break, that's as good as it gets. Expect clean, lined-up little runners at the pier. Since it's inconsistent normally, you'll have to be patient, but the waves that come through will be rideable and fun for a beginner or longboard.
Overall, if you want to get wet, wait until the 18th. The rest is a write-off. Anything in the second week like the 19th is too far out to trust fully, but the patterns are showing cleaner vibes. The wait is the story here.

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.
