Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pilgrim Avenue over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you—this stretch is a tough one. Pilgrim Avenue is the only option on the cards, and honestly, it’s a real mixed bag over the next 16 days. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of tiny, weak waves before a pulse of energy finally shows up, but even then, conditions are far from perfect.
The first real surfable day is Wednesday, 15 July. Up until then, from Friday the 10th through Tuesday the 14th, it’s a desert. We’re talking flat, poor surf with heights barely cracking 2 ft and combined swell energy that’s mostly a pathetic 14 to 40—just weak, wind-swell slop. The water’s sitting at 67°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird.
Now, Wednesday morning 15 July is the one standout. Pilgrim Avenue cleans up nicely with a moderate offshore wind from the west at 12 mph, and we’ve got a 5 ft swell from the southwest, period around 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 272 (moderate), and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s not huge, but it’s the best we’ll see—clean, offshore, and rideable for intermediates. The swell direction (SW) isn’t a perfect match for the optimum SSE, but it’s close enough to work. Keep in mind, this spot is fairly consistent and can get crowds sometimes, so expect company.
Thursday 16 July drops off fast—tiny 0.3 ft with a very long 15-second period, but that’s a ghost swell. Too long and weak for any real use. Friday 17 through Sunday 19 July stays small, around 2 ft to 3 ft, with cross-onshore winds and poor quality. The energy picks up a bit from 20 July onward, with a 3 ft to 6 ft south swell, but the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” By 24 July, we’re seeing 6 ft at 8 seconds and combined energy up to 392 (moderate-to-strong), but with onshore easterly winds, it’s going to be choppy and messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
Overall, Wednesday 15 July morning is your one real shot. After that, it’s a waiting game for a clean day that doesn’t come. The second week is a write-off—onshore winds spoil any potential.
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.
