Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pilgrim Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here.
First off, I’ve got to be straight with you – the outlook for Pilgrim Avenue (reef and point) over the next 16 days is a tough one. Right now, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for. The whole first week is a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor surf conditions. The energy is just not there, and the wave heights barely tickle the knee. You’re looking at a long, flat gap with no real recommendations until later in the window.
The water temp is sitting around 70°F at the start, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, nothing too wild.
The first real glimpse of something surfable shows up on Wednesday, July 22, in the morning. That’s a week and a half away, so keep that in mind – it’s promising but not locked in. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the south with a combined energy of 234 (moderate energy). The wind goes glassy, which is a huge positive, meaning the surface should be clean and smooth. But the period is only 7 seconds – that’s short-period wind swell, so it’s not going to have a ton of punch or shape. It’s a reef and point break, so it might handle that short period better than a beach break would, but still, don’t expect long walls.
The afternoon of the 22nd sees the south swell hang in at 5ft (energy 283), but the wind shifts to a cross-shore, messing with the surface. The morning glass is the real standout here.
After that, the swell fades again, and the winds get messy with onshore and cross-onshore conditions through the 23rd and 24th, so the window is tight.
For a beginner, anything over 5ft can be a handful, so that 5ft morning might be a bit much if you’re just starting out. For the more experienced crew, that glassy window on the 22nd morning is the one to circle on the calendar. Crowds are possible at Pilgrim Avenue, and the optimum swell direction is from the SSE, but this swell is coming from the south, so it’s not a perfect match.
In short: a long dry spell, then one clear morning of hope on July 22. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

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.
