The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Alright, let's have a yarn about what's coming up at Pilgrim Avenue. It's a reef and point setup, fairly consistent, and we're looking at a bit of a waiting game, to be honest.

The water's sitting at 69°, which is just a fraction cooler than usual for this time of year, nothing to stress about.

Right now, the start of the run is a bit of a dud. Monday and Tuesday have tiny swell and messy conditions. We're looking at a few days of pretty ordinary surf, with some cross-shore chop and onshore breezes. Wednesday the 29th sees a bit of a jump in size, with a 7ft SSE swell rolling in on the morning, but it's coming with light rain and onshore wind, so it's a write-off. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off breeze, but the swell drops to 5ft. The combined energy (570) is moderate, but it's just not coming together.

Thursday and Friday are a mixed bag of cross-on winds and average-sized swell, mostly in the 3ft to 5ft range. The energy is moderate (200-290), but those onshore winds will keep things choppy. Saturday the 1st of August starts with a glassy morning, a 3ft south swell, and a decent 10-second period, giving it a bit of shape. The energy is moderate (194), and it's surfable, but it's nothing to call home about. The crowd factor is "sometimes," so you might have a few mates out.

Now, here's the standout, and it's a beauty. The 3rd of August, Monday morning. We've got a 6ft south swell, period is 8 seconds, and the wind is a light offshore from the SW, making it glassy. The combined energy jumps right up to 692 (strong). This is the best on offer. The swell direction is from the south, which is a touch off the optimum SSE direction, but the offshore wind and the size will make for some clean, punchy waves on that point. It's a good size for intermediates, and the reef setup will handle that long-period energy well. The afternoon drops to 5ft but stays clean.

After that, the surf tapers off. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a letdown. We're looking at smaller swells, a lot of cross-off winds, and low energy. The 8th and 9th of August are tiny, with 2ft to 2ft swell and energy dropping below 60. It's a proper flat spell. The 10th and 11th of August see a bit of a pick-up in size but with nasty cross-on winds, making it choppy and unappealing. No real standouts in that second week.

So, to sum it up: the first few days are a scratch. Saturday the 1st is a maybe. The clear winner is Monday the 3rd of August. Get on it.

Rusty.

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.
