Boscombe Surf Reef

The surf reef is currently not in operation

Following a boat strike last year Bournemouth Borough Council is advising people not to use the reef. 

Regular condition surveys of the reef are carried out to ensure that the structure remains stable.

It has already been proven that the most seriously damaged bag was subject to boat propeller damage, as confirmed by the recent insurance settlement.  The Council also believes the missing bag was struck by a boat and they have an insurance claim pending based on that belief. 

The Council are still in a contractual obligation with ASR Ltd which requires them to replace two containers and make additional repairs to the Reef. ASR remain aware of the required timescales within which they are contracted to complete these works.
