Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pilgrim Avenue over the next 16 days.
Alright mates, let’s look over Pilgrim Avenue. The surf’s gonna be flat and quiet for a good few days before anything really shows.
First decent chance rolls around Wednesday morning, July 15th, with a 4ft swell from the SW and a clean offshore breeze from the west blowing 12 mph. That offshore wind is sweet, keeping faces smooth. The swell period is short though, only 7 seconds, so the energy’s moderate at best – about 139 combined that morning and 100 in the afternoon. Waves are surfable but nothing special. Water temp is 68°, pretty average for July around here. This break’s a reef and point setup and prefers swell from the SSE, so this SW direction isn’t its best angle. Still, you can get a couple.
Then comes a big lull, tiny waves through the rest of that week and into the next. Your next real pulse is Monday afternoon, July 20th, with a 6ft SSW swell, but again a short period of 6 seconds and a light cross-onshore breeze from the SSE at 6 mph. The combined energy hits 251, which is moderate, but the conditions are listed as poor. Tuesday, July 21st keeps similar 5ft S swell, again cross-onshore and not great quality. That size with a poor wind – might be more interesting for kite gear than a surfboard.
Wednesday morning, July 22nd, there’s a slight improvement – a 4ft SSW swell, 6 seconds, and a light cross-off breeze from the SSW. Clean lines but still small and ordinary. After that, it slowly fades to tiny clean leftovers through the end of the period.
The only real standout is that Wednesday, July 15th with the offshore wind. It’s clean, it’s small, but it’s the best of the lot. Crowds are possible but with surf this quiet, you’ll likely only see a few.
Stay patient, this one’s a waiting game.

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.
