The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what Pilgrim Avenue is offering in feet and miles per hour over the next couple of weeks. Don’t rush out just yet; it starts real flat.
Right now and through this week, there’s almost nothing. Swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, with energy readings in the 20s and 30s (weak). Winds are mostly cross-off or cross, so it’s clean, but there’s no wave to ride. You’re looking at a gap of several days with no real surf.
We get a small bump on Friday the 28th morning – a short-period 3 feet from the south (5 seconds) with very weak energy (70). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Saturday the 29th morning is another tiny window: 2 feet from the southeast (7 seconds), energy 69 (weak), and glassy conditions. Still, it’s small.
The first real standout hits Monday the 1st of September afternoon. A pulse of swell: 1 feet from the SSE, but with a nice long period of 14 seconds. Combined energy is 110 (moderate). Wind is a gentle cross-off, keeping it clean. That long-period groundswell will bring shape and longer lulls – ideal for a point or reef setup like Pilgrim Avenue. Water temp is around 70°, about average for this time of year. Crowds can show up here sometimes.
Tuesday the 2nd of September morning is the best of the bunch. Swell at 2 feet from the SSE, period 13 seconds, combined energy 133 (moderate). Wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive. Clean, lined-up, long-period waves, even if they’re small. The afternoon holds similar energy at 175 (moderate) with light cross-off winds.
After that, from the 3rd to the 5th of September, we see swell size pick up to 3 to 3 feet from the southeast, with energy climbing into the 200–300 range (moderate). But the wind turns cross-onshore, bringing chop. Not worth it.
The tail end, around Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September mornings, offers a small return to clean conditions: 2 to 3 feet from the east-southeast with light cross-off or offshore winds. Energy back down around 130–181 (moderate). Still small, but a long-period pulse on the 6th afternoon (11 seconds) with moderate offshore wind makes it a decent option.
Overall, the standout is Tuesday the 2nd of September morning – glassy, long-period groundswell, clean and lined up. Don’t expect anything big, but it’s your best bet.

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.
