The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Pilgrim Avenue, a reef and point set-up that’s a go-to for intermediates. The water’s sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bummer, to be honest. There’s a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for from right now, all the way through to the morning of the 30th of July. That’s over a week of flat, weak, or just messy conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and short-period, making for poor surf.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Thursday, the 30th of July. We’ve got a 4ft swell rolling in from the S, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NW at 15 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 350, but it’s still only a marginal call. The afternoon cleans up a bit more with a WNW wind, but the size hangs around 4ft. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve seen.
Then on Friday morning, the 31st of July, we get a proper offshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph. Swell drops to 3ft from the S, with a 9-second period, giving a combined energy of 129. The conditions are clean, but it’s pretty ordinary. That afternoon, the wind goes light offshore from the WSW, but the swell fades further.
After that, it’s a slow fade into the first week of August. There’s another solid window on the 3rd of August, with a clean S swell at 4ft and a 9-second period, combined energy of 225, and cross-offshore winds. The morning is clean and the afternoon is surfable, but nothing to write home about. The rest of the week is filled with tiny, weak swells and onshore breezes.
If you’re desperate for a wave, the standout is the Thursday the 30th of July and Friday the 31st of July. The morning of the 30th has the most size, and the morning of the 31st has the cleanest offshore wind. Crowds are always a possibility at Pilgrim Avenue, so expect company if you go.
After that, the first week of August is a write-off with barely any swell until the 6th, and even then, it’s only 4ft and glassy, but weak. This is a tough stretch for consistent surf, but it won’t stay this way forever.
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.
