Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty tough. We’ve got a real flat spell to start, so don't rush to get the wetsuit on just yet. The first signs of anything surfable won't pop up until the morning of Thursday the 9th, and even then it's a marginal call. You’re looking at a solid week of pretty much nothing before that.
Let’s talk about Pilgrim Avenue, a reef and point set-up that's fairly exposed. It’s an intermediate spot. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
From the 2nd of July right through to the morning of the 9th, it’s a dead loss. We’re talking a week of tiny swell, mostly under 1ft, with a mix of onshore and cross-off winds. The energy is barely there – we're seeing combined swell energy numbers in the teens and twenties (13 to 34), which is just weak. The wind is all wrong, too much onshore or cross-on, making it a no-go.
Thursday morning the 9th shows a little pulse of life. We get 3ft of swell from the S, with an 8-second period. The wind is light cross-off from the SW, which will keep it clean. The combined energy bumps up to 99, which is still low but a step up from the junk before it. It's surfable, but only just, and the rating reflects it as very ordinary. That window doesn't last long though, as the wind picks up to 16 mph that afternoon, messing it up again.
The standout window in this whole outlook is actually the morning of Sunday the 12th. The swell holds at 3ft from the S, with a 7-second period. What makes it special is the wind: a glassy offshore from the WNW at only 3 mph. That is a proper clean morning. The combined swell energy is 95, which is still weak-moderate, but with those conditions, it’s the best you’ll get. This is a morning for your longboard or a funboard, and you’ll have it quiet as crowds are only sometimes an issue here.
The other bright spot, promising but less certain, is Monday the 13th. The swell ticks up to 3ft from the S, with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 134 – now we’re talking moderate energy. Morning winds are light cross-off from the SW at 6 mph, so conditions should be clean. Afternoon winds pick up, but the morning session on the 13th looks like it could have a bit more push than the Sunday glass-off, though the wind isn't quite as perfect.
After that, the energy drops right back off into the teens and single digits, with minimal swell for the rest of the run.
So, bottom line: don't hold your breath for the first week. Your best bets are the clean, glassy morning of Sunday the 12th, and the slightly bigger but windier morning of Monday the 13th.

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.
