NOTE: The above data is for deep water ocean swells, and does not mean that waves at the beach will be that size or direction. It does however provide a valuable indication of the swell size, direction and winds for the next 72 hours. The most reliable indication of actual conditions is an Eyeball Surf Report, as on most of our surf report pages.

Bournemouth works the same as Boscombe but with longer rides. The most popular peak is on the East of the Pier. Offshore winds follow through the Bourne Valley for very hollow waves, but this is rare. Again, sheltered from gales but can get crowded. Bournemouth's eight miles of beach stretch from Sandbanks in the west to Hengistbury Head in the east.
