Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pilgrim Avenue over the next 16 days.
Yo, Rusty here, checkin' in with the local scoop for Pilgrim Avenue. Gotta be straight with ya – the next couple of weeks are lookin' pretty grim for a decent paddle. We're in for a long dry spell with hardly any proper surf on offer.
The first real chance to even get wet comes way out on Wednesday, July 15th. The morning session is our only shot. We're looking at a small 3ft swell from the SSW, but the magic is in the wind – it's glassy. Absolutely flat calm. That's a huge positive for a spot like this, cleaning up what little energy we have. The combined energy is weak (91), but for a moment, the conditions might be just about surfable, though very ordinary. If you're desperate for a glide on a longboard, that's your window. After that, it's right back to dribble.
The rest of the week and into the next is a write-off – tiny, weak swell with onshore or cross-shore breezes keeping things messy. There's a bump in size around Tuesday, July 21st, where the swell pushes to 5ft from the SE, but the energy is still moderate (171) and the conditions are still rated poor. The following Wednesday, July 22nd, we see the biggest swell of the period, a 6ft SSE swell with a jump in energy (492), but again, it's not been given a good nod for quality. With the wind blowing cross-off from the SSW, it might be clean, but the wave shape and tide just aren't coming together for a proper surf.
Honestly, for most of this, you're looking at a beach setup that's more interesting for a kite session than a paddle. The forecast is a real bummer, but in this area, blank runs like this are pretty normal. Hang tight, keep an eye on the charts, and don't sell your board just yet.
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.
