The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Pilgrim Avenue over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a pretty lean stretch. There’s a real quiet patch for days on end with hardly anything worth getting wet for. The pattern starts off with a bit of a pulse, but it’s messy and doesn’t really deliver a clean, rideable wave until we get into the middle of next week. There are long gaps of several days here where the surf is just flat or too ugly to bother with.
The first real flicker of life comes on Monday, August 3rd. A 8ft swell from the S rolls in, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 652 (moderate) in the morning, building to 829 (moderate) in the afternoon. The wind is cross-off, so the faces will be clean, but that’s a lot of water moving around. At 8ft, this is getting solid for the average punter, and the short period means it’ll be a bit of a bumpy, walled-up mess. The “poor surf conditions” tag tells you it’s not really user-friendly. Better for the experienced crew if you’re brave, but it’s not a standout.
The best bet on offer, if you can call it that, is Tuesday morning, August 4th. The swell drops to a much more manageable 4ft from the S, still with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 213 (moderate), which is a decent little push. The magic ingredient is the wind: a light 6 mph offshore from the W. That’s glassy, clean, and will groom the hell out of those waves. For a reef and point setup like Pilgrim Avenue, this is the window. It’s still just “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – so don’t expect perfection, but it’s the cleanest the place will look all period. Crowds are a possibility here, so you might have company.
After that, things fall apart. The swell drops, the wind swings around, and we get days of crossed-up, choppy junk. There’s a tiny blip on Sunday, August 16th, with a 3ft swell from the SSW and a cross-off wind, but the energy is minimal (103) and it’s still tagged as ordinary. Not worth getting excited about.
So, if you’re itching for a paddle, your window is that Tuesday morning, August 4th. It’s the one clean, manageable wave in an otherwise pretty bleak run. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget a steamer.
Rusty.

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.
