The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Pilgrim Avenue. Honestly, it's a grim stretch ahead. There's a real dry spell coming, so I'll walk you through the whole thing.
The first bit of surf worth paddling out for doesn't show up until Monday morning, the 3rd of August. Even then, it's not exactly a celebration. We've got a pulse of 4ft swell from the S, with a short period of 7 seconds, so it's small and weak. The combined energy is only 150 (moderate), and while the wind is a gentle cross-off from the SW, keeping things clean, the conditions are described as "very ordinary." Tuesday morning, the 4th, looks a little better – the swell bumps up to 6ft from the SSW, still short period at 7 seconds, but the energy jumps to 322 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-off from the SW, so it'll be clean. This is the best of a bad bunch, but it's still only rated as "expect good surf conditions." The water temp is about 70°F, which is 1°F cooler than normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
After that Tuesday morning window, it's all downhill. From Wednesday the 5th right through to the end of the outlook on the 15th, it's a long stretch of tiny, weak, or messy surf. The swell drops below 3ft, periods are short, and the energy is mostly in the double digits (weak). There's a couple of days where the wind goes cross-shore or onshore, making things even worse. For a spot that's a reef and point break, you'd want a decent long-period groundswell to wrap in, but we're not getting that. The entire second week is essentially a write-off.
So, what's the call? The only standout is Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. Head down for a dawny. The swell is 6ft from the SSW, which is a bit much for a beginner, but for an intermediate surfer it's a solid size. The wind is light cross-off, so it'll be clean. The crowd is "sometimes" an issue here, so you might have a few others in the water, but with the overall outlook so poor, it might be quieter than usual. The optimum swell direction is SSE, and we're getting SSW, so it's a bit off, but still the best we've got.
Forget the rest of the window. It's a long, flat run.
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.
