Alright folks, let me put this in feet and miles per hour for ya.

Honestly, it's a grim outlook for Boscombe Pier. We're looking at a solid 16-day stretch with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. It's a big old gap of flat, weak, or junk surf. Most of the time, the swell is barely a ripple, under a foot, and even the rare bigger bump gets ruined by onshore or cross-shore winds.

Let's walk through it. Tuesday morning, July 7th, it's clear with a 9 mph cross-off from the west, and we've got a pathetic 0.3ft of west swell. The energy is nothing (3). That afternoon, wind picks up to 12 mph from the WNW, still cross-off, and we get 2ft from the WSW, but it's a 4-second period – junk. Energy is weak (18). All poor surf.

Wednesday the 8th is glassy with a 3 mph SE wind in the morning, but the swell has dropped back to 0.3ft. Same story Thursday the 9th – glassy, but no power. Friday the 10th, we see a 2ft swell from the east, but it's a 4-second windswell with onshore winds. Energy is still zip (16 and 13).

The weekend? Saturday the 11th morning is clean with a 12 mph cross-off from the ENE, but again, it's 0.3ft. That afternoon, a slight bump to 3ft from the east arrives with a 5-second period, but it's crossed onshore. Energy is very low (36). Sunday the 12th is a complete write-off with onshore winds and flat conditions.

Heading into the second week, the pattern holds. Monday the 13th, Tuesday the 14th, Wednesday the 15th all see 15-18 mph cross-shore or cross-on winds with tiny, weak swells. The 15th afternoon has 3ft from the east at 5 seconds, but it's messy (43). A 5ft east swell shows up on Thursday the 16th afternoon – that's the biggest – but it's paired with a 15 mph cross-onshore wind and a 6-second period. The energy is moderate at 161, but it'll be choppy and bumpy. Not even close to worth it.

The rest of the run from Friday the 17th to Wednesday the 22nd is more of the same: tiny waves, onshore winds, and very weak energy. Nothing to get excited about. There's no standout session in this entire forecast.

So, plain and simple: the surf is flat or junk for the next 16 days. It's a long, dry spell. The spot is inconsistent as it is, and this is one of those times. Keep your board handy for a miracle, but don't hold your breath.

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.

Boscombe Pier is 4 km (2 miles) from Bournemouth. If you plan a holiday in South Coast of England, look for hotels and other accommodation in Bournemouth. Bournemouth has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
