Right, I’ve had a good look at the charts for Boscombe Pier, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. We’ve got a lot of days with tiny, weak swell, and when there is a bit of size, the wind is all over the shop.

The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 67°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real oddity, but it won’t make up for the lack of surf.

Let’s be straight: there are no standout sessions here. The first few days are a total bust. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th offer nothing but flat, poor conditions. We’ve got a long gap of tiny, unrideable surf stretching right through the first week.

The best of a bad bunch looks like it might be Saturday afternoon, July 12th. There’s a tiny 2ft swell from the east (5 seconds period) with a cross-shore wind, but it’s barely a ripple. It’s not really worth getting excited about.

Then, after another lull, we see a slight uptick around Friday the 18th. The morning of the 18th has a 3ft swell from the WSW (5 seconds) and a light cross-shore breeze. That’s the highest energy in the whole window, but it’s still weak. For a spot that’s fairly exposed, this is just not enough to push through.

Even the end of the period, like Tuesday the 22nd, offers glassy conditions but with a pathetic 1ft swell. It’s a real shame, but this is one of those stretches where the forecast is just not on our side. The consistency is poor, and it tends not to stay this blank for long, so keep an eye on the charts – things can change.

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.

Boscombe Pier is 4 km (2 miles) from Bournemouth. If you plan a holiday in South Coast of England, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bournemouth. Bournemouth has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
