The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a yarn about what’s coming up for Pilgrim Avenue. This is a reef and point setup over here, and I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are pretty quiet. There’s no real surf on offer to start, just tiny waves with poor conditions, and it’s not until Saturday, September 12th that we finally see something worth paddling out for. That’s a solid gap of nearly ten days with nothing to get excited about.
Water temp is sitting at 70°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The standout window is the morning of Saturday, September 12th. We’ve got a clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the east, with light offshore winds out of the west (10 km/h) – that’s going to tidy things up nicely. Combined swell energy is moderate (108). The swell period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have heaps of punch, but it’ll be ridable and clean. This is the pick of the fortnight for sure.
The next morning, Sunday, September 13th, is also worth a look – similar 4 ft from the east-southeast, with light offshore winds again (10 km/h), and slightly higher energy at 189. Still short period (6 seconds), but it’ll be clean with a bit more push.
Everything else in the 16-day window is small, choppy, or blown out. The best of the rest is basically not worth getting wet for.
Signing off – 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.
