The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be straight—this 16-day stretch for Pilgrim Avenue is a lean one. A lot of flat days with nothing worth paddling for. The water’s about average for this time of year, sitting around 69°F.
The first real chance to surf doesn’t come until the morning of Wednesday, July 15th. That’s a few days of waiting with zero options. That Wednesday morning, we’ve got a 1.5m swell from the SW, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s more windswell—a bit weak and choppy. The combined energy is moderate at 329, and with a light offshore breeze from the WNW, it’ll be clean. That’s the best of the bunch, but it’s only for the experienced crowd; beginners might find it a bit hefty. The swell direction is SW, and the spot wants SSE, so it’s a little off, but it’s the highlight.
Wednesday afternoon drops to 0.9m, and the rest of the week is a bust—tiny, short-period junk, poor conditions. We’ve got another gap until the morning of Tuesday, July 21st. That morning brings a 1.1m swell from the S with a 10-second period, a bit more groundswell, with combined energy at 283. Wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won’t be glassy. The afternoon is a little better with a cross-off breeze, but it’s still only “surfable.”
After that, it’s back to small, ordinary waves right through to the end. The 27th and 28th of July have clean, small swell around 0.7m to 1.1m, but nothing special. This is one of those stretches where you’re better off waiting for the next forecast. It doesn’t stay this slow for long, but if you’re itching, Wednesday morning, July 15th, is your only real shot.
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.
