The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for Pilgrim Avenue. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this stretch is looking pretty flat for the next couple of weeks. We've got a real long gap here with no real surf to speak of.
We start off on Sunday the 6th of September with barely a bump. Swell is a tiny 1.0ft from the ESE with a short period of just 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 21. The wind is light, but it's a cross-on, so not doing us any favors. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are even smaller, with 0.7ft to 0.3ft of swell. The wind does go offshore or glassy at times, but with no wave energy to work with, it's a total washout.
We finally see a pulse on Thursday the 10th of September. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the SSW. That's a proper size, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-off from the SW at 16 mph. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range at 318 to 367, but the quality is still called marginal. This is about as good as it gets in this outlook, but honestly, with that short period and size, it's going to be a bit of a bumpy, closed-out mess. That's not really one for the beginners either – over 5ft, it's pushing it.
After that, the rest of the run is pretty bleak. We see a few tiny bumps on Friday the 11th of September with 3 to 4ft SSW swells, but the energy is low at 117 to 167 and the period remains short at 7 seconds. From the 12th of September right through to the 21st of September, it's all small, weak, and messy. We're talking about a solid ten days of poor conditions. The wind is often onshore or cross-shore, and the swell drops right off to 1.0ft to 3ft at best. The water temperature is around 70°F, which is about average for this time of year.
To sum it up, Pilgrim Avenue isn't offering anything worth paddling out for in this 16-day window. The only half-decent window is that Thursday the 10th, but it's short-period and bumpy. For the rest, you'd be better off checking the forecasts again in a week or two, because this blank run is the reality for now.
Rusty.

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.
