Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Pilgrim Avenue has in store, in feet and miles per hour.

Honestly, it’s a tough start. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of nearly nothing worthwhile. The first flicker of life shows up on Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, with a tiny 2ft wave from the SSW, period a short 6 seconds. The wind goes glassy though, so the surface will be like a mirror, but there’s just no push behind it. It’s a “surfable but very ordinary” kinda day.

The whole first week is basically a bust – tiny waves, short periods, and mostly messy wind. You’d be better off stayin’ home.

Things finally perk up in the second week. Saturday, July 11th brings the first real window. The morning has a clean 4ft south swell with period stretching to 8 seconds. Then Saturday afternoon is the pick of the entire forecast: swell hits 4ft from the south, period bumpin’ to 9 seconds, wind goes dead calm – glassy – and the combined energy climbs to a solid 255. That's your session right there.

After that, it fades back into small, uninspiring surf for most of the following week, with some light offshore winds keeping the surface clean but not much swell to work with.

Then on Saturday, July 18th, we get another big spike. The morning sees a solid 6ft swell from the SE with a 7-second period, and the energy jumps to a strong 804. Wind is offshore from the west, light and clean. That's a lot of water moving – definitely one for the more experienced crew. The afternoon drops back to 4ft from the SSW with a moderate offshore breeze, still clean and fun.

So, bottom line: skip the first week. The standout is Saturday afternoon, July 11th – glassy, waist-to-chest high south swell, clean and fun. Saturday the 18th is another good option if you want more size, but it’s further out, so don’t book the day off just yet.

Water temp early on is around 68°, pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.

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.

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.
