The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a flat spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special. The first real mention of anything surfable doesn't come around until Thursday the 30th of July, and even then it's a one-star day at best. The run from now until then is a total write-off – small, weak, and messy.
Thursday the 30th of July, the swell at Pilgrim Avenue (reef and point) is a modest 4 ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, which is just barely a groundswell. The wind is a light NNW, coming clean off the land, so conditions are clean. The combined energy is moderate at 235. It's not a standout, but it's the first chance to get wet. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The next day, Friday the 31st, the swell drops to 3 ft from the SSE, with a longer period of 9 seconds, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NNE, putting a chop on it. The energy drops to 142. Not great.
We get a little window on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning sees a 3 ft southerly swell, with a clean 16 mph offshore wind from the west. The energy is moderate at 106. It's clean, but the swell is small and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it's not going to have much punch. The afternoon is similar, but a touch smaller.
Honestly, there's no standout session in this whole 16-day window. The swell is small, the periods are short, and the energy is consistently low. The best you're looking at is a clean but gutless 3 ft wave on Tuesday the 4th of August. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both. If you're desperate for a paddle, that Tuesday morning is your best bet, but don't expect much.
This is a normal blank run for this area. It won't stay poor forever, but for now, the forecast is a bust.
Rusty.

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.

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.
