Alright, I’ll be straight with you. Looking at the next couple weeks, it’s mostly flat and forgettable, but there’s a couple windows where it’s worth grabbing your board.

The first few days, starting July 6th, it’s rough. Swell around 1 to 1.7m, but it’s from the ESE with a short period of only 5 to 6 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and fresh. Rain and lumpy conditions — not worth it.

From July 9th through the 14th, the swell tails off fast, staying under 1m and often much smaller. Winds get cleaner in patches, especially afternoons, but the wave energy is just too low — combined energy numbers in the double digits (like 16 or 33). That’s a solid 5- or 6-day gap where you’re better off doing something else.

The first real standout is Wednesday morning, July 15th at Pilgrim Avenue. The wind goes glassy — dead calm with a light westerly — and we get 1.0m swell from the SSW with a 7-second period. Combined energy hits 107 (moderate). Those waves will be clean and nice for an intermediate surfer. That’s your morning.

Then again, Saturday afternoon, July 18th brings some life. Swell jumps to 1.8m from the SSW, period still short at 6 seconds, but the energy is way up at 285 — solid power. Wind turns light cross-off from the WSW, so the surface cleans up. For a reef-and-point break like this, that’ll focus the energy and produce some good rides. That’s the other real highlight.

After that, the wind goes onshore again, and it’s back to small, lumpy conditions.

So, mark your calendar for the morning of the 15th or the afternoon of the 18th. The rest of the time, it’s a flat spell.

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.

Pilgrim Avenue is 8 km (5 miles) from Narragansett Pier. If you plan a vacation in Rhode Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Narragansett Pier. Narragansett Pier has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
