The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Pilgrim Avenue over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, mates, it’s a pretty flat and ordinary run ahead. The first solid surfable day doesn’t show up until Saturday morning, 1st August – and even then, it’s nothing to get excited about. We’ve got a small S swell coming in at 3 ft with a short 8-second period, combined energy sitting at a weak 82. The water’s a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 69°F, about 2°F below average. The wind is a cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph, so the surface is clean, but the waves are just surfable – very ordinary. The afternoon drops off to 2 ft and it’s still poor.

Sunday 2nd August is a write-off with tiny 2 ft waves and cross-shore winds making for messy conditions. Monday 3rd August sees a bit more size – 5 ft in the morning and 8 ft in the afternoon – but the wind jumps to 19 mph from the SSW, and it’s light rain. The energy does spike to 1203 in the afternoon, which is strong, but the conditions are described as marginal at best, and that short 7 to 8-second period won’t give you much push.

The best looking window in the whole forecast is actually Tuesday morning, 4th August. We’ve got a glassy morning with an easterly breeze at just 3 mph, 4 ft of S swell at 8 seconds, and combined energy of 208. The surface will be glassy and clean – that’s a rare treat. The waves are still only surfable, not amazing, but glassy conditions at Pilgrim Avenue make it the standout of the forecast. The swell direction from the south is a bit off the optimum SSE, but it’s the cleanest you’ll get.

After that, from Wednesday 5th August through to the end of the second week, it’s mostly poor surf with small, weak swells, cross-off or cross-shore winds, and often choppy or rippled surfaces. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday 11th August morning with offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph and 3 ft of swell, but it’s still only surfable and not worth planning around. The swell periods stay short (4 to 7 seconds) for most of the run, which means weak, wind-affected waves.

From around Thursday 13th August onwards, the wind turns cross-onshore and the swell stays tiny – often under 2 ft. There’s a jump to 7 ft on Friday 14th August afternoon, but it’s cross-onshore and fairly choppy, with a short 7-second period – not the kind of wave you want to paddle into.

So, the standout is Tuesday morning, 4th August – get it while it’s glassy. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet stretch. The water stays a bit colder than average through the first few days, then the data doesn’t show it, but it’s not worth worrying about.

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.
