Alright, grab a coffee, because looking at the whole 16-day picture here, it’s pretty grim for Boscombe Pier. We’ve got a massive stretch of flatness or junk to wade through before anything even remotely rideable shows up.
There’s a gap from now all the way through to maybe the morning of Saturday the 11th of July before we see a pulse. Even then, it’s small, with waves barely hitting 3 feet on the face from the east, with a short, weak period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is only 43 – that’s weak, gutless stuff. The morning cross-off wind from the ENE (31 mph) will keep it clean on the surface, and with it being a beginner-friendly spot, a few longboarders might get some fun little runners. But it’s pretty mediocre.
That Saturday afternoon gets lumpy as the wind swings cross-on, and then Sunday the 12th through Monday the 13th drops back to nothing.
The next little spike comes Monday afternoon, the 13th of July. The swell bumps up to 5 feet from the east, with a combined energy of 130 (moderate), but it’s all on a short 6-second wind swell, and the wind is 25 mph cross-on from the ESE. That’s going to be a choppy, bumpy mess – more like a washing machine than a wave. Not something to get excited about.
The only real standout, and I say this with reservation, looks to be Thursday morning, the 23rd of July. It’s a long way off, so keep that in mind. The forecast shows a 5 foot swell from the east again, with 127 combined energy, but a light cross-on breeze from the SW at just 10 mph. For Boscombe, that might actually tidy things up a little. Still, it’s a short-period 6-second wind swell, so you’re not getting any real power or a decent wall. For a beach/pier break, a longer period would be better for shape, but this is what we’ve got. For the absolute lack of anything else, this Thursday morning is the best on offer, but honestly, it’s a long wait for a very average window. If you’re desperate, you might get something knee-to-waist high and a bit bumpy.
That’s it. A lot of time sitting on the sand for this one.

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.
