Alright, let's switch it up. Rusty here with the same outlook in feet and inches.
Honestly, Pilgrim Avenue is in a slump. For the first week, from Thursday, July 9th through Friday, July 17th, we're looking at ankle-biters and knee-high slop. The wave energy readings are mostly pathetic, sitting in the teens and twenties. The water is about 69°F, which is normal for this time of year. There's nothing to get excited about.
The only curveball comes on Saturday afternoon, July 18th. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSW, and the combined energy hits that 510 number—proper power. But it's a messy 7-second wind swell, so it'll be lumpy and disorganized. It's also getting into the too-big-for-beginners range.
Into the second week, the one bright spot is Monday afternoon, July 20th. We've got a solid 4ft south swell with moderate energy around 201. The wind goes glassy, completely calm. That's the kind of surface you dream about. The period is still short at 8 seconds, and the swell is from the south rather than the preferred SSE, but for clean, rideable waves with nobody around, that's your window. Everything after that drops back to tiny surf for the rest of the run.
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.
