The Lowdown
Alright guys, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on.
Right off the bat, there’s a big dry spell. Nothing is happening for the first week or so. Tiny, weak, and messy – the wind is all over the place, and the swell is practically non-existent. Not worth paddling out.
The first thing that even looks like surf is on Wednesday 16th September at Boscombe Pier. The afternoon brings a 3ft swell from the west, period around 10 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the northwest. The energy is moderate (122), but it’s still just ordinary. You might get a couple, but don’t expect much.
The only real standout is the morning of Saturday 19th September at Boscombe Pier. That’s your best bet. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the west-southwest, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the northwest. The energy is a solid 389, which is proper moderate. The wind will make it clean, and the size is manageable for most intermediate surfers, but it’s a bit much for beginners. The water temperature is 20°C, which is a full 3° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual and feels incredible.
After that, it fades again. There’s a 6ft pulse on Thursday 24th September and Friday 25th September, but the wind is on it and messy, so it’s not going to be any good.
So, to sum it up: the only day to really get excited about is Saturday 19th September (morning). It’s a long way out, so the forecast could shift, but it’s the one to watch. Everything else is a pass.
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.

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.
