Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pilgrim Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on offer.
Truth be told, the next week and a half is a bit of a tough one for Pilgrim Avenue. The first few days are a write-off; we’re looking at tiny, weak scraps with cross-onshore winds that are just making it choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for. That run of poor conditions stretches from Saturday the 11th right through to the following Tuesday.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday morning, July 15th. The wind is offshore and clean, and we’ve got a 5 ft swell from the SW. The combined energy is moderate (267), so there’s a bit of push behind it. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s a bit of a junky wind swell, but with that glassy offshore wind, it’ll be the cleanest we’ve seen in a while. This is the standout for the whole run. With the water temp running about average for the time of year at 68°, it’s a solid go for an intermediate surfer.
After that, things drop off again. We get a few days of small, clean waves but with very ordinary conditions, not really worth getting excited about. Then we hit another rough patch. From the 22nd through the 25th, the swell actually picks up, with a 6 ft to 7 ft swell from the S and moderate energy climbing up to 523, but the wind is a relentless onshore from the E or ESE. That’s going to be a blown-out, choppy mess. It’s actually more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer during that stretch.
The best bet for a decent session after that Wednesday is Monday the 20th, with a 4 ft S swell and offshore winds giving clean conditions. It’s not a standout, but it’s surfable. The long-range stuff on the 26th looks promising with offshore wind and a 4 ft S swell, but keep in mind the week-two forecasts are less certain.
So, to wrap it up: Wednesday morning, July 15th, is the one to circle. After that, keep an eye on the 20th and the 26th, but there’s no big groundswell in the window.
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.
