The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Pilgrim Avenue. The next 16 days are a mixed bag, with a few promising windows but a lot of ordinary to poor conditions to wade through. The water’s sitting at 70°F – about average for this time of year.
We kick off Wednesday, July 15th with a short-period SW swell around 4ft and a period of 6 seconds. The wind is offshore from the W at 16 mph, which keeps things clean, but the waves are pretty average. The energy is weak (104). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Wednesday afternoon is similar, with a touch more energy (187) but still very ordinary.
Thursday, July 16th drops off fast – tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. Same story Friday and Saturday, July 17th-18th, with wave heights barely breaking 2ft. There’s a moment of glassy calm on Friday morning, but with almost no swell, it’s a flat spell.
Sunday, July 19th sees a small pulse of 4ft SSW swell, period 6 seconds, and offshore W wind at 16 mph in the morning. The energy picks up to moderate (127), but the waves are still just surfable, nothing special. Sunday afternoon is a bit cleaner with lighter wind.
Monday, July 20th brings a bigger S swell – 5ft to 5ft, period 9 seconds – but the wind is cross-onshore from the ESE/SE at 9 mph, making it choppy and poor. Energy climbs to strong (327-470), but the conditions ruin it.
Tuesday, July 21st has a similar story: 5ft to 6ft S swell, period 8-9 seconds, but cross-offshore SW wind at 16 mph keeps it clean but the quality is poor. Energy is strong (301-439), but not translating to good waves.
Here’s the standout window: Wednesday, July 22nd is the best on offer. Morning brings a 6ft S swell, period 9 seconds, with offshore W wind at 12 mph. The energy is very strong (497), and the conditions are moderate offshore and clean. This is a solid, chunky point/reef wave for intermediates. The afternoon holds steady with 5ft and gentle offshore wind. It’s the pick of the whole forecast.
After that, Thursday July 23rd through to Tuesday July 30th is mostly a write-off. Onshore winds, weak swells, and poor conditions dominate. There is a brief glimmer on Tuesday, July 28th afternoon – a 5ft SSE swell, period 9 seconds, with glassy conditions. That could be a sneaky good session if the swell holds, but it’s a one-off. The rest is small, choppy, and not worth chasing.
Overall, if you’re keen, aim for Wednesday July 22nd. The rest of the 16 days? A lot of waiting for the next window.
Rusty.
