The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what's brewing for Pilgrim Avenue. I'll be honest, it’s a real slow start, and there's a big gap of nothing much before we get any real action. The first decent chance doesn't roll in until the middle of the second week.
The water is sitting at 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no drama there.
For the first week, it’s basically a bust. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Monday the 21st, the swell is tiny, weak, or coming from the wrong direction with poor conditions. You get a few moments of offshore wind, but the wave heights are just too small to bother with.
The first hint of something better shows up on Tuesday the 21st afternoon. The swell pushes up to about 6ft from the south with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 315 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the SW, so the surface will be clean, but the short period and the fact it's only just into the intermediate range keeps it from being a standout. It's a marginal call.
Now, the real highlight of the entire outlook is Wednesday morning, July 22nd. This is the one to mark on your calendar. You’re looking at a solid 6ft swell from the south, with a longer period of 10 seconds, which gives it some proper power. The combined energy is a strong 654. The wind is offshore from the WSW, so it’s going to be clean and nicely lined up. This is the best session on offer. For more experienced surfers, the 6ft is a good size, but it’s not so big that it’s only for experts. That offshore wind really makes this one the pick of the bunch.
After that, the rest of the outlook fades out again. The morning of Thursday the 23rd has glassy conditions with a 3ft south swell, but it’s weak (167 energy). The tail end of the period, around the 28th and 29th, has some inconsistent, small, and ordinary conditions with light offshore winds, but nothing to get excited about.
So, the only standout is the Wednesday morning, July 22nd. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest.
