The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the Pilgrim Avenue area over the next couple of weeks.

First up, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first trace of any real surfable waves doesn’t show up until Friday the 24th of July, but it’s pretty weak. Before that, we’ve got a solid few days of nothing worth paddling out for. The wait is on.

Friday, July 24th brings a tiny pulse from the south with swell around 2ft. It’s a short period of 8 seconds, so not much push. The saving grace is the glassy conditions in the morning (E wind 3 mph). Combined wave energy is low at 83, so it’s small, clean, and very ordinary. You might get a fun little one if you’re desperate, but it’s not going to set the world on fire. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

Saturday, July 25th and Sunday, July 26th are a write-off. The swell is tiny and onshore winds chop it up completely. Not worth your time.

Monday, July 27th through Thursday, July 30th is a mixed bag. There’s a little bump on Wednesday the 29th morning with a 4ft SSW swell, period of 8 seconds, and clean cross-offshore winds from the SW at 9 mph. The energy is moderate at 141, but it’s still a marginal day. Thursday morning the 30th sees a glassy start with a 3ft SSE swell, but again, very ordinary.

Friday, July 31st morning offers another glassy window with 3ft S swell and light SE wind at 3 mph. Clean, but the energy is low (108). The real action is still a week away.

Saturday, August 1st morning stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW (6 mph) and 3ft S swell. The afternoon picks up to 5ft from the SSW, period 9 seconds, and the energy jumps to 349 (moderate), but the wind swings to 16 mph cross-off from the SW. It’s clean, but the size is picking up.

Monday, August 3rd morning brings a 5ft S swell with a light cross-onshore breeze from the SE (6 mph), period 8 seconds, and energy of 294. It’s marginal, a bit bumpy, and not the best.

Tuesday, August 4th sees a bigger swell building: 7ft to 8ft from the SSW, period 8 to 9 seconds, with clean cross-offshore winds from the SSW at 16 mph. The energy climbs to 632 and then 828 – solid moderate wave energy. This is getting into the intermediate zone, maybe a bit much for beginners.

Now here’s the standout. The pick of the entire outlook is Wednesday, August 5th. The morning brings a solid 12ft swell from the south with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 3286 (strong). The wind is light from the NNE at 6 mph, creating a light cross-shore. That’s a big, powerful groundswell. For the afternoon, it drops to a still-juicy 8ft from the south, period 10 seconds, energy 1496, and the wind goes completely glassy (0 mph from the SSE). This is the session for experienced surfers only – that morning swell is over 8ft, so it’s expert territory. The afternoon cleans up into a glassy, powerful swell. This is the one to circle.

Thursday, August 6th morning drops back to 7ft from the south, period 8 seconds, with a light cross-onshore from the ENE (6 mph) and energy of 1004. Still sizeable, but the wind is a little less friendly.

Honestly, if you’re looking for the best, it’s all about Wednesday, August 5th. That afternoon glass-off with 8ft S swell is going to be magic. The water is about average for the season, so a good wetsuit and a bit of patience will pay off.

Rusty out.

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.

Pilgrim Avenue is 8 km (5 miles) from Narragansett Pier. If you plan a vacation in Rhode Island, look for hotels and other accommodation in Narragansett Pier. Narragansett Pier has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
