The Lowdown

Alright, let's get into it. This is a grim outlook for Pilgrim Avenue for the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at 69°F right now, which is a bit colder than what we’d usually expect for this time of year, so you’ll definitely want a decent spring suit.

The first bit of surf worth paddling out for is on Tuesday, the 4th of August. The early morning session is the real standout here. We’ve got a 5ft south swell, but the real magic is that glassy wind – dead calm, absolute perfection. It’s a fairly consistent reef and point setup, and with that clean, offshore vibe, it’s going to be a beautiful morning. The wave energy is moderate (295), and the swell is coming from the SSE, which is the optimum direction for this spot. Keep in mind, though, it can get crowded here sometimes.

The afternoon of the 4th drops off a little. The swell backs down to 4ft from the SSW, with a gentle cross-offshore breeze. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary.

After that, it’s a long, dry spell. The rest of the first week and all of the second week are a write-off. We get a few days of small, weak swell, but the wind is mostly cross-off or cross, and the wave energy is very low – we’re talking about values in the 50s, 40s, and even as low as 2. There’s a brief moment on the 10th of August where the swell pushes up to 6ft from the SSW, but the wind is up at 16 mph and the conditions are just poor. The short period of 6 seconds means it’ll be a mushy, messy close-out.

Forget the 11th through the 16th. It’s tiny, often under 3ft, with periods around 6-7 seconds. The energy is weak, and the wind is either cross or onshore. There’s one day with a 14-second period from the south on the 13th, but it’s a 0.3ft swell... barely a ripple. You’d be better off staying home.

Honestly, there’s only one real session on offer in this entire 16-day window: first light on Tuesday, the 4th of August. That’s your best shot. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it.

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.
