Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Boscombe Pier has cookin' over this next stretch.
Right out of the gate, it’s a flat spell. There is no surf to speak of for the first few days. We’ve got a long, quiet gap stretching from the beginning of July all the way through until the morning of the 18th. Honestly, it’s pretty bleak. The water is warm though; at 66°F it’s running much warmer than normal for this time of year, so if you're keen on a swim or a paddleboard, that’s your silver lining.
Eventually, on Saturday the 18th, we finally see a little life. The morning shows a modest 4ft swell out of the southwest, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the northwest. That clean, offshore wind is a massive positive – it'll keep the surface glassy. The combined wave energy reading comes in at 151, which is moderate energy, so there's actually a bit of punch to it. But don't get too excited; this is a beach/pier break, and that shorter period (8 seconds) means it won't have the best shape. For a beginner-friendly spot, 4ft is fine, but it's not going to be a standout day. It’s just surfable after a long, long wait.
By Saturday afternoon the wind swings onshore from the southwest and strengthens to 22 mph, making a mess of things, so the window is very tight. This is pretty much the only moment with anything on offer across the whole 16-day run. No big highlights here, just a brief flicker of hope on the 18th. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this dead for long.

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.
