Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pilgrim Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks at Pilgrim Avenue.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. For the first twelve days, from Wednesday the 8th of July right through to Sunday the 19th of July, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, with weak combined swell energy, and the wave comments are all "poor surf conditions." You’d be better off doing something else.
We do see a glimmer of hope on Monday the 21st of July. The morning at Pilgrim Avenue brings a 3 ft swell from the SSW, but with a short period of just 6 seconds – that’s a weak, crumbly windswell, not much punch. Combined energy is only 81. The wind, though, is offshore from the WNW at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." For this spot, that’s the best on offer in the whole run.
Because that’s the only standout, it’s worth noting that the water temperature is about average for the time of year down there at Pilgrim Avenue. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, but on a day with waves this marginal, it’ll likely be quiet.
After that, the outlook fades again into tiny or poor conditions for the rest of the window. The Thursday the 23rd of July morning also shows "surfable waves but very ordinary" with a 3 ft SSW swell and 7-second period. Still small, and you’ll want an offshore wind to make the most of it.
So, the only real window to bother with is the morning of Monday the 21st of July. It’s not going to be world class, but it’s the best we’ve got.
Rusty.

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.
