Right, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Pilgrim Avenue.

To be straight with you, the next 16 days ain't exactly firing for Pilgrim Avenue. We've got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp's sitting about 70°, a touch warmer than normal for July, but that's about the only warm thing in this forecast.

From Monday the 6th right through to Wednesday the 15th, it's pretty much a write-off. We've got onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and tiny, weak swell. The combined wave energy is mostly under 100 (moderate to weak), and the swell periods are short, between 4 and 7 seconds. It's messy, blown-out, or just plain flat. There's a few days there where it's clean, like Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th, but the waves are barely a ripple at 1.0ft to 2ft. Not worth the wax.

There's a tiny glimmer on Thursday the 16th of July. The morning shows a clean 3ft SSW swell with a gentle offshore wind. It's "surfable" but very ordinary. The combined energy is just 99 (weak). Honestly, it's a micro-session for the keenest.

The only real standout in this whole window is on Monday the 13th of July. That afternoon we see a bump in swell to 6ft from the East with a period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy jumps to a moderate 300 (moderate). However, the wind is onshore from the ESE, so expect it to be lumpy and poor quality. Don't get too excited. It's a rare bit of size, but the conditions won't do it any favors.

The very end of the forecast, on Sunday the 19th of July, shows a small window with glassy conditions in the morning on a 3ft SSW swell. It's clean, but tiny. The crowd factor at Pilgrim Avenue is listed as "sometimes," so you might have the place to yourself, but you'll be fighting for a knee-high wave.

So, to sum it up: the first week and a half are a write-off. The second week has one day of size that's blown out. If you're desperate, the 16th or 19th might offer a tiny, clean wave. Nothing here is a standout. This stretch looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf.

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.

Pilgrim Avenue is 8 km (5 miles) from Narragansett Pier. If you plan a vacation in Rhode Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Narragansett Pier. Narragansett Pier has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
