The Lowdown

Right, crew, let’s have a look at the next sixteen days for Pilgrim Avenue. It’s a reef and point set-up, fairly consistent, and it prefers swell from the SSE. The water’s sitting at 70°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Honestly, the outlook is a real struggle. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a solid nine days of either poor surf conditions or very ordinary waves, nothing really worth paddling out for. The mornings on the 9th and 11th offer a small 3ft SSW swell with offshore wind, but it’s weak and short-period, so the energy is low (74 and 50 respectively). It’s surfable, but it’s not going to get the heart racing. The 15th morning goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft S, so it’s flat and clean – a good day for a paddle, not a proper surf.

Then on the 19th of August, Wednesday morning, things start to look a little more interesting. The swell picks up to 3ft from the ESE, period is still short at 8 seconds, but the combined energy hits 121, which is moderate. It’s a cross-off wind, so it’ll be clean, but it’s still just surfable, not great. The 20th of August, Thursday, sees a bigger push of 5ft to 6ft from the ESE, but it’s a short-period windswell and the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing sort of day than a surfer’s wave.

The 21st of August, Friday morning, offers a last little window of 3ft ESE swell with a light cross-off breeze and clean faces, but again, it’s ordinary. The 22nd, Saturday morning, is similar with a 2ft S swell and light wind.

If I had to pick one standout, it’d be the morning of the 19th of August. It’s the one day that has a touch of moderate energy and clean conditions. The waves will be small, around 3ft from the ESE, and the cross-off wind will keep it tidy. It’s not a session to write home about, but it’s the best on offer in a pretty lean run. Crowds are likely at this spot sometimes, so you might have a few others with the same idea.

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.
