The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real: the next two weeks around Pilgrim Avenue are looking bleak. I’ve been over the numbers and honestly, there’s nothing to get worked up about. The entire 16-day stretch is a dud for decent surf.
Right from the start, it’s flat. From Thursday the 3rd through Wednesday the 9th, you’re looking at tiny, weak swells with bad wind. Don’t even bother loading the car. That’s a full week of nada.
The only glimmer is on Thursday the 10th. We get a pulse of 4ft from the SSW, but with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (146), and the wind is offshore from the W, so it’ll be glassy. But that short period means the waves will be soft and mushy. If you’re really jonesing, Thursday morning is your only chance, but don’t expect anything special.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak surf for the rest of the run. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday the 12th, but the swell is only 1ft. Not worth the wetsuit struggle.
Bottom line: there is no standout session here. It’s a long, flat spell with one weak, poor-quality spike. For this area, it’s a pretty normal dry period. Things could change, but for now, I’d find something else to do.

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.
