The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty lean for our stretch of coast. There's a real dry spell ahead, with a gap of about a week before we see anything that even sniffs like a surfable wave. The first real chance to get wet doesn't come around until the 12th of September, and even then, it's a pretty average affair.
Let's start with what little we've got. The water is sitting at a balmy 68°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's very unusual, you could almost go in boardies.
The only spot that pops up with a score worth talking about is Boscombe Pier. It's a beach and pier setup, making it a beginner-friendly zone, but it's inconsistent, so you can't rely on it firing every day.
The first whisper of hope comes on Saturday the 12th of September. We've got a small, clean 3 ft swell from the WSW with a short period of 8 seconds, pushed by a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is weak (64), so it's a small, weak wave, but it's clean. It's surfable, but honestly, it's very ordinary. The crowd situation is "sometimes" here, so you might have a few others pondering the same question.
The only other blip is on Friday the 11th of September. The morning sees a stronger 6 ft swell from the SW, but it's blown out by a fresh cross-onshore wind. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a 5 ft swell and a cross-offshore breeze, but the period is a short 6 seconds, making it a bit of a bumpy, weak mess. It's not really a standout.
Beyond that, it's a whole lot of nothing. Tiny waves, poor winds, and conditions that are frankly not worth paddling out for. This is just one of those stretches where the forecast is a bit of a blank. It happens. Keep the board in the car, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Boscombe Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
