The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what Boscombe Pier's got in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a lean run. The first week is mostly blown out or flat as a pancake. The water is 69°F, which is *way warmer* than usual for this time of year – a good 7°F above the norm. That’s a proper anomaly.
There’s a big gap of nothing worthwhile at the start. The first real chance to wet a line shows up on Friday morning, September 4th. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the WSW, with moderate energy (401), and the wind is a clean cross-off from the W. That’s the pick of a weak lot for the first week. The tide could be a bit tricky, making it a marginal call, but it’ll be clean.
After that, it’s a ghost town. Days of tiny surf, nothing over 1ft from the 5th all the way through to the 17th of September. There’s a hint of groundswell around the 14th and 15th, with period stretching out to 10 and even 12 seconds, but the wave height is barely 1ft. It’s a mirage. Those long lines would be a dream if there was any push, but there ain’t.
To be honest, for most of this 16-day window, the conditions look more suited to a kite than a surfboard. The waves are just too small or too messy to be any fun.
Pin that Friday morning (4th) on your calendar – it’s your one and only hope, and it’s not a sure thing. Everything else is a flat spell. That’s the way it can be around here sometimes.
Rusty.

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.
