Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let's get into it. Pilgrim Avenue’s the only spot on the table for this stretch, and to be honest, it’s a rough start. For the first two weeks of the forecast, it’s pretty grim – we’re talking flat, weak, and messy conditions, with very little to get excited about.
We’ve got a real gap here. From Sunday, July 5th right through to Saturday, July 18th, the surf is basically a write-off. You’ll see tiny 1 ft to 4 ft waves with short, weak periods (5 to 9 seconds) and a combined energy that barely cracks 100 (most days sitting between 15 and 110). The wind is a problem too – mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or strong breezes. There are a couple of afternoons around July 9th-10th with clean cross-off winds, but the swell is just too small and weak to make it worthwhile. The Sunday morning of July 5th has the water temp at 69°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
Now, for the real news. Hang in there, because Sunday, July 19th is the standout. That morning, a clean SSW swell pushes in at 8 ft with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 727 – that’s strong. The wind is light cross-off from the SW with just a light breeze, so it’ll be clean. That afternoon, the wind goes glassy from the WNW, dropping to 6 ft, but still with a solid 9-second period and energy at 529. Those are the two best windows in the whole outlook. This is a reef and point break, so it should handle that swell well. Keep in mind, though, at over 5 ft it’s getting a bit much for beginners, and at over 8 ft, it’s for experts only – so the 8 ft morning is more of an intermediate-to-advanced session.
Monday, July 20th still has some leftover 4 ft swell with 8-second period and offshore winds, but the energy drops to the low 200s and it’s rated as just surfable. After that, it fades.
So, for this 16-day window: don’t bother for the first two weeks. Your one shot is Sunday, July 19th – that’s the day to clear the schedule. The 8 ft swell with glassy afternoon winds is the pick of the bunch. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have company, but it’ll be worth it.

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.
