Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what’s cookin' at Pilgrim Avenue over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a lean spell to be straight with ya. For the first week and a half, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing special. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and it’s mostly "poor surf conditions" with wave energy that barely gets out of bed. There’s a long stretch there from the 4th right through to the 17th of July where you’d be hard-pressed to find a proper ride. We are talking days of ankle-to-knee-high dribble, with short-period windswell that just doesn’t have any push.
The water temp is sitting at about 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the paddle won’t be a shock to the system.
Now, if you’re hanging out for a wave, keep your eyes on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. That Saturday morning, the 18th, the combined energy climbs to a solid 240, which is the strongest we see in this whole forecast. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the SSW, but it’s a short 7-second period, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and close together. The wind looks clean with that moderate breeze, but it’s a cross-offshore, which should keep the face tidy. This one is for the experienced crew only though – that’s too much juice for beginners. Then on the Saturday afternoon, the size drops to 5ft from the same direction, but with a light offshore wind from the West. That is actually the standout window: clean conditions, cleaner lines, and still some push. You’ll have the place to yourself, too.
Come Sunday the 19th, the swell drops back to 3ft from the south, but the wind is light and cross-offshore again in the afternoon, so it’ll be clean but smaller.
So there it is. A whole lot of waiting for one good afternoon on the 18th. That’s your best bet.

Information about the Pilgrim Avenue Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pilgrim Avenue provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pilgrim Avenue can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pilgrim Avenue 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 (Pilgrim Avenue) 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 Pilgrim Avenue 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.
Pilgrim Avenue is 8 km (5 miles) from Narragansett Pier. If you plan a vacation in Rhode Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Narragansett Pier. Narragansett Pier has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
