The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at what we’ve got for Pilgrim Avenue. Honestly, it’s a grim two weeks for anyone wanting to surf. There are zero good options in sight.
We’re staring down a long stretch of almost nothing. Right from the start, it's tiny. The swell is mostly 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with weak energy in the single digits to low twenties. The wind is clean some of the time, but with no swell, that’s useless. Sunday morning and Monday might look clean, but you’re just staring at flat water.
Then on Thursday, September 10th, we get a bump. A 5ft SSW swell with 223 energy brings some life, with offshore WNW winds at 30 km/h, so it would be clean. But the period is short at 8 seconds – not the best shape. The afternoon sees it drop to 4ft. This is the only real pulse in the whole run, but even then, the forecast calls it poor surf.
After that Thursday bump, it drops back to a whisper until Sunday, September 13th. That afternoon, there’s a 6ft SSW swell with 274 energy, but again a short period of 6 seconds and cross-off winds. The forecast says it’s marginal at best.
The rest of the run is a mix of 3ft to 4ft of weak, short-period junk, with winds that are mostly cross or onshore. By the 17th there is some E swell hitting 200 energy, but the conditions aren’t there.
Water temp is around 69°F, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing weird there. For a spot that’s fairly consistent like Pilgrim Avenue, this kind of flat run is a regular thing. No waves to speak of. Don’t bother waxing up.
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.

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.
