The Lowdown
Alright, how's it going, folks? Rusty here. Let's break down the surf for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a dud. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy windswell that's just not worth your time. The tide will be lapping at the pier, but that's about it. The real action starts to build heading into the weekend of the 26th and 27th.
The real standout is Sunday the 26th. The afternoon session at Boscombe Pier is looking like the pick of the bunch. We've got a solid 7ft swell from the WSW with a moderate wave energy (444), and the wind is set to be a clean cross-offshore breeze. That's going to be a proper session for anyone with a bit of experience. The morning of the 26th isn't bad either, with a 6ft swell and clean offshore winds, though the energy is a bit lower (266).
The following Monday morning, the 27th, still has some clean 3ft swell with a moderate offshore breeze, but it's a step down from the Sunday. For the rest of the run, it's a lot of small, choppy, and onshore slop, with a few glimpses of clean but tiny waves. The water temperature is feeling about average for this time of year.
So, get your head around that. The best of the lot is undoubtedly Sunday the 26th afternoon at Boscombe Pier. It's not a classic, but it's the only real swell of note on the horizon.
Rusty.

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.
