The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Pilgrim Avenue.
First up, don’t get your hopes up for the next week or so. We’re staring down a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first week is a write-off—poor surf conditions day after day, with tiny, weak swells and wonky winds. It’s one of those stretches where the ocean just goes to sleep. From Sunday the 26th all the way through to Sunday the 2nd of August, it’s a flat, choppy mess. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board.
Now, things start to stir around Monday the 3rd of August. We’ve got a bump in energy coming through. Monday morning sees a 6ft swell from the S, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 381 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-off from the SW, so the waves will have some shape. It’s not huge, but it’s the first real sign of life. The water temp is about 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Tuesday the 4th of August is probably your best bet in this whole outlook. We get a 5ft SSW swell with offshore winds from the W in the morning. That’s glassy, clean conditions, and the energy is still solid at 286 (moderate). The swell direction is a good match for the break’s optimum, and it’s a reef and point setup, so it’ll handle that longer period groundswell well. This is the standout. It’s not too big for intermediates, but beginners might find it a bit much. The crowds can be around sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
Later in the week, Friday the 7th of August has a bit of a pulse too, with a 7ft SSW swell in the morning, but the wind is cross-on from the NE, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off, but by then the swell is dropping. It’s a backup option, but not as clean as Tuesday.
Overall, the first week is a total bust. The second week has a couple of windows, but Tuesday the 4th is the one to circle. It’s the best quality we’ll see, with clean offshore wind and a decent-sized swell. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too messy.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty.

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.
