The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break down the Pilgrim Avenue situation.
It’s a rough outlook. The first week and a half is mostly flat or trash. There’s one tiny window late on Friday, July 31st, but otherwise, it’s a long, dry spell right through to the end of the 16 days.
Water temperature is 69°, which is about normal for the season.
The only real mention is Friday afternoon, July 31st. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the S, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 89. The wind goes glassy – SE at 3 mph. That means the surface will be smooth as butter. The catch? Waves are small and described as “very ordinary.” It’s the best you’ll get, but it’s not a standout.
After that, the surf dies. From Saturday, August 1st, through to August 12th, swell heights range from 0.3 ft to 3 ft, with periods mostly under 8 seconds. Energy values are all below 100, dropping to single digits. Winds are mostly moderate to fresh, with some cross-off days, but with no swell, it doesn’t matter. Some mornings are clean, but with 0.7 ft or 1.0 ft waves, you’re not going anywhere.
The only window is that Friday glass-off. The swell direction is from the S, while the optimum for Pilgrim Avenue is SSE, so it’s a bit off, but with glassy conditions, you might find a few fun ones.
For beginners, the small stuff is safe, but it’s not worth the trip. For experts, there’s nothing.
It’s a quiet period. Hang tight. Things can change, but for now, this is a bust.
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.
