The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pilgrim Avenue has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this isn’t a classic run. The pattern is pretty flat for most of the period, with a few small windows that might get you wet, but nothing that’s going to have you cancelling work.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on the morning of Thursday, July 24th. The swell is tiny at 3ft from the south, with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless – the combined energy is only 94, which is very low. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is glassy. That dead calm will make the surface look like a mirror. For a beginner or someone desperate for a cruise, it’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The water temp is about 68°F, which is 2°F cooler than average for this time of year, so nothing wild.
The next notable morning is on Friday, July 31st. The swell is still small at 3ft from the south, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, giving it a bit more push. The combined energy climbs to 124, so it’s moderate. The wind is light and variable, leaving a little cross-shore ripple. It’s not glass, but it’s clean enough. Pilgrim Avenue is a reef and point setup, and with that longer period, it should wrap in a little better than the beach breaks. It is a fairly consistent spot, but you’ll be sharing it – the crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so expect a few others out.
The only other flicker of life comes on Tuesday, August 4th, in the afternoon. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s junky windswell. The combined energy is 163, which is moderate. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but that short period will make it look bumpy and fat. It’s a last resort for anyone who just needs to get wet. Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, July 24th morning is the standout for the cleanest conditions, and July 31st morning is the best bet for a little bit of actual energy.

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.

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.
