The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at Pilgrim Avenue.
I’ll level with you – the next ten days are a real dry spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of weak, short-period swell and messy winds. The wave energy is mostly in the double digits or just barely touching triple digits, and the period is hanging around 6 to 9 seconds. That’s all windswell, and for a reef and point break, that’s just not going to do much.
Water temp is about 69°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. So at least the water won’t give you a shock.
From now through the end of July, it’s a flat-out no-go. Swell heights barely hit 3 ft, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, keeping everything choppy and junky. There’s one window on Saturday, August 1st in the afternoon that looks *okay* – 3 ft of south swell, cross-offshore wind, and wave energy of 87 – weak but at least clean. That’s the best we get.
After that, we go even quieter. A couple of glassy mornings in early August show 2 ft SSW swell, but the energy is only 70. It’s rideable but extremely small. By the second week, it’s practically flat. From August 8th on, we’re looking at 1 ft or smaller, with energy in the single digits. That’s flat, plain and simple.
There’s no standout here. If you’re really itching, your best bet is Saturday, August 1st in the afternoon (Pilgrim Avenue). You’ll get clean, tiny waves – 3 ft from the south, light offshore wind. It won’t be a day to remember, but it’s the only time the stars line up for even a mellow paddle.
For the rest of the forecast? Honestly, you might be better off looking at this for kiteboarding. This stretch looks a lot more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
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.
