The Boscombe Artificial Surf Reef was officially opened this week with some great publicity by Bournemouth Council and also on BBC’s South Today.

There has been quite a lot of debate about whether the reef is going to produce the goods - sizeable and rideable waves for us surfers!!

Well here’s the proof that Boscombe Reef can produce the goods. We have had a steady flow of south-westerly winds this week that have helped to push the swell up and when the tide has been right we have seen some pretty decent waves.

Here is a couple of shots from this week just to whet your appetite.
