Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pilgrim Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break down Pilgrim Avenue. It’s a reef and point, and for the next couple of weeks, it’s looking pretty flat out. The first week is mostly tiny, weak waves with poor wind, so don’t rush.
The water temp is 20°, right around average for the season, so nothing crazy.
The first real chance comes on Wednesday, July 15th. We’ve got 1.2m swell from the SW, 7-second period, and moderate energy at 134. The wind is offshore and clean, but the wave quality is still just “surfable but ordinary.” It’s the best of a bad bunch early on.
Then it goes dead quiet from Thursday, July 16th to Tuesday, July 22nd. Tiny stuff, mostly onshore or choppy. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday, July 18th, but the swell is only 0.3m – not worth the hassle.
The real standout is Wednesday, July 22nd. Swell jumps to 2.1m from the S, period 9 seconds, and strong energy at 691. The wind is cross-offshore and clean. This is for experts only – over 2m is too big for beginners. That point and reef setup should handle the swell well. Thursday, July 23rd is similar, with 2.3m and 769 energy, also clean. These are the days to circle, but they’re a long way out, so don’t book the trip yet.
By Friday, July 24th, the swell drops, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The weekend of July 25th sees 1.4m with moderate energy, clean enough for a session.
Bottom line: it’s a slow start, then a couple of big, clean days for the experienced crew. Crowds are “sometimes” at Pilgrim Avenue, so you might see a few others, but it’s not packed.

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.
