Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pilgrim Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, with only a few small windows of surfable, but very ordinary, waves. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until well into the second week, so patience is the name of the game.
The entire opening run from Sunday the 12th through to Tuesday the 22nd of July is a write-off. The swell is tiny, or the wind is messy, or both. There’s nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp at Pilgrim Avenue is sitting at 68°, which is right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first flicker of life comes on Wednesday the 23rd of July. The morning session is a no-go, but the afternoon sees a light cross-onshore breeze with small wind ripples. Still, the swell is only 2ft from the SSE with a short 6-second period, and the combined energy is a paltry 90. Not worth the wet suit.
Finally, on Friday the 24th of July, we get a tiny window. The morning at Pilgrim Avenue (reef and point) is clean with a light SW cross-offshore breeze. Swell is a mere 2ft from the SSE, period 6 seconds, and energy is low at 79. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The wind is light, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are weak.
Now, the standout. If you’ve got the patience, hold out for the morning of Saturday the 26th of July. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Pilgrim Avenue gets a solid 7ft swell from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 715. The wind is clean, cross-offshore from the SW. That’s a proper amount of power for the reef and point setup here. It’s going to be a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is the best we’ve got. The crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The next morning, Sunday the 27th of July, is also worth a look. The swell drops to 4ft from the south, 8-second period, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a rare treat. The energy is moderate at 182. It’ll be clean, fun, and a much more relaxed session than the day before.

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.
