The Lowdown
Right, crew, let’s have a look at the next sixteen days for Pilgrim Avenue. It’s a reef and point set-up, fairly consistent, and it prefers swell from the SSE. The water’s sitting at 70°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the outlook is a real struggle. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a solid nine days of either poor surf conditions or very ordinary waves, nothing really worth paddling out for. The mornings on the 9th and 11th offer a small 3ft SSW swell with offshore wind, but it’s weak and short-period, so the energy is low (74 and 50 respectively). It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get the heart racing. The 15th morning goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft S, so it’s flat and clean – a good day for a paddle, not a proper surf.
Then on the 19th of August, Wednesday morning, things start to look a little more interesting. The swell picks up to 3ft from the ESE, period is still short at 8 seconds, but the combined energy hits 121, which is moderate. It’s a cross-off wind, so it’ll be clean, but it’s still just surfable, not great. The 20th of August, Thursday, sees a bigger push of 5ft to 6ft from the ESE, but it’s a short-period windswell and the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing sort of day than a surfer’s wave.
The 21st of August, Friday morning, offers a last little window of 3ft ESE swell with a light cross-off breeze and clean faces, but again, it’s ordinary. The 22nd, Saturday morning, is similar with a 2ft S swell and light wind.
If I had to pick one standout, it’d be the morning of the 19th of August. It’s the one day that has a touch of moderate energy and clean conditions. The waves will be small, around 3ft from the ESE, and the cross-off wind will keep it tidy. It’s not a session to write home about, but it’s the best on offer in a pretty lean run. Crowds are likely at this spot sometimes, so you might have a few others with the same idea.
