The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Pilgrim Avenue.
The water temp is about 69°, which is standard for around here this time of year.
The best window in the whole 16 days is Sunday, August 9th. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell coming from the SSW, with a northwest wind blowing offshore. That’s a clean combo, and the combined energy is a solid 400, which is moderate to strong. The swell period is 7 seconds, so it’s a bit short, but with that offshore wind, it’ll still be fun and punchy. This is an expert-level day with the size.
Before that, it’s a real slog. There’s a few days with tiny, clean waves like the morning of July 31st with 3ft from the SSE and glassy conditions, but nothing to write home about. The real standout is that Sunday, August 9th.
After that, Monday the 10th sees a 5ft SSW swell, but the wind switches onshore, making it messy. The rest of the second week is mostly small, weak, and cross-on, with very low energy numbers, so it’s not worth the paddle.
The only other sliver of hope is the morning of Friday, August 7th, with a 4ft SSW swell and clean cross-off wind, but it’s a short window. The big call is the 9th.
So, if you’re an experienced surfer, lock in the 9th. The rest of the time, the ocean is taking a nap.
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.
