The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the outlook for Pilgrim Avenue.
To be honest, it's a pretty flat and frustrating start to this forecast period. We're looking at nothing but poor surf conditions and small, weak energy for the first week. The only real pulse of energy comes in the second week, but it's a long way off.
The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The first semi-decent window of surf doesn't pop up until Wednesday, July 22nd. That's a full week away. If you're patient, that's your best bet. On Wednesday morning, we get a 5ft southerly swell with a period of 9 seconds, which is a solid groundswell. The combined energy is a moderate 408, so there's some push behind it. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the northwest, so it should be fairly clean. The break is a reef and point, so it should handle that longer period swell well. The afternoon shapes up even better with a 5ft southerly swell, 9-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the west (12 mph). The energy is up to 417. This is a consistent spot, so it should be worth the wait. Keep in mind the swell direction is S, while the optimum is SSE, so it's not a perfect angle, but it's the best on offer.
The rest of the second week is a mixed bag. Thursday, July 23rd, has a glassy morning with 4ft southerly swell, but the energy is lower. The weekend of the 26th-27th has some small, surfable waves with clean conditions, but nothing to get too excited about. The very end of the period on Monday, July 28th, shows a jump in size to 6ft, but the wind is questionable and the conditions are marginal, so that's a bit of a gamble.
Overall, the standout is the Wednesday, July 22nd session. The rest of the period is pretty average. Hang in there.
Rusty.
