The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks at Pilgrim Avenue.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak stretch coming up. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with hardly any surf worth getting excited about. From now through until around the 15th of August, it’s mostly tiny dribble – we’re talking ankle-snappers of 0.3ft to 3ft from the south and southeast, with the swell energy barely registering (values like 2 to 79). The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, which would be great if there was any wave to work with, but there isn't. The water temp is sitting at a warm 73°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a touch above normal.
Then we hit a solid gap. After a bit of a pulse on the 15th, the surf really drops off again. It’s not until Monday the 17th of August that we see anything that might get a surfer to paddle out. That morning brings a 7ft south-southwest swell, with a moderate combined energy of 805. That’s the standout of the whole period, but it’s a bit of a lumpy beast. It’s a short-period windswell at 8 seconds, and with a cross-off north-northwest wind at 16 mph, it’s going to be a bumpy, challenging session. That size is pushing past beginner territory and getting into the intermediate zone, but the quality won’t be great.
After that, it’s back to the small stuff. There’s nothing else that’s really worth making a special trip for. The forecast changes further out are for tiny, weak waves from the southeast right through to the 24th. It’s one of those stretches where if you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high ripple on the 17th, but otherwise, it’s a blank run.

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.
