The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating stretch on the horizon for Pilgrim Avenue. The energy just isn't there for any proper surf. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with only tiny, weak waves for the most part. The first few days are a write-off, and it stays that way for a while. If you’re desperate for a paddle, there's a slight bump on the 9th, but it's going to be pretty ordinary – small, weak, and not worth getting excited about. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing special there.
The run from the 10th through to the 16th is a real grind. Most days are delivering ankle-biters under 2ft, with a few cleaner windows but nothing with any push. The swell direction swings around, but the period stays short, keeping things lacking any real power or shape. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, and the swell energy is consistently weak, often dipping below 40. There's a little bump on the 15th, but it's still tiny and the wind gets up, so it's not going to be any good.
The second week, from the 17th onward, offers a glimmer of hope but it’s a long way off. There’s a pulse of longer-period swell on the 17th, but it’s still very small at 1ft, and the energy is only moderate. The 20th has a glassy morning with a bit more push, but again, it’s not exactly going to be a classic. These are promising signs, but they are so far out, you can't rely on them. Sure, it might not stay this poor forever, but right now, you're better off finding something else to do.

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.
