Alright, grab a coffee, this one’s a tough read. Right now, for the whole 16-day stretch, there's just nothing doing at Boscombe Pier. I’m looking at the charts, and it’s a flat spell, plain and simple. The swell energy is tiny, a measly (15) to start, and it never really kicks into anything worthwhile.
Saturday morning kicks off with a tiny 0.7ft from the WSW, but with a cross-shore wind, it's just messy. Sunday morning brings a clean-looking 0.7ft, but again, it’s barely a ripple. The whole first week is a write-off. Monday through to Thursday of that first week shows the same story: heights under 3ft, and the combined energy rarely breaks past the 30 mark. There’s a little bump on Friday, July 10th with some east swell at 3ft, but the wind is howling from the east at 19-22 mph, which will just chop it up into a lumpy mess.
We see the biggest heights on Saturday, July 11th, with the swell pushing 4ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, and the energy climbs to (135). But don’t get excited. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is a short, weak 5-6 seconds. That’s a junky, blown-out closeout at a beach/pier break. It’s less a surf session and more of a whitewash washing machine. Honestly, with that strength of wind, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, it fades right back to nothing again. A few clean mornings pop up, like Wednesday, July 15th with a light offshore wind and a 1ft swell, but you’d be fighting for a knee-high crumble. The rest of the second week is more of the same: ankle-biters onshore slop.
So here's the truth. There is no standout. There is no session to aim for. The whole 16-day window is a gap. For Boscombe, a blank run like this is just part of the deal sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the van and go for a pint.

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.
