Alright mate, let’s talk Pilgrim Avenue. It’s a quiet stretch to start. For the first week and a half, there’s barely a ripple worth mentioning – small, weak swell and messy wind. You’re looking at a gap of nearly ten days before anything decent pops up.
Things finally get interesting on Friday, July 17th. That morning, the wind swings offshore from the west, and you’ve got a 1ft swell from the SSE at 7 seconds – combined energy is just 41, so still light, but the wind is clean. By the afternoon, the swell inches up to 2ft from the south, still with that clean offshore breeze. It’s surfable but nothing special.
The best window is Saturday morning, July 18th. That morning sees a 3ft swell from the SSE at 8 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the southwest. The energy climbs to a moderate 128, and the clean wind means smooth, rideable waves. It’s not big, but it’s the best of the lot.
Sunday the 19th holds similar 3ft south swell with clean offshore winds. Then Monday morning, July 20th, the wind goes glassy calm – zero wind, with a 3ft south swell and moderate energy of 149. Glassy conditions are top shelf for clean surfing, so that Monday morning is a real standout.
Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Bottom line: wait for the weekend of July 18th-20th. Saturday morning and Monday morning are your best bets. Small but clean.

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.
