The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Pilgrim Avenue for the next couple of weeks.

The outlook starts off a bit slow, but there's some real promise brewing for the end of the first week and into the start of August. We've got a bit of a waiting game, but when it kicks in, it should be worth it.

We kick things off on Monday, July 20th with a tiny 3ft S swell, running at a short 8-second period. The energy is weak (80), and while the morning is glassy, the waves are just too ordinary to get excited about. The water temp is 69°, about average for the time of year.

The real story starts to build on Wednesday, July 22nd. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the SSW, with a period of 9 seconds and the combined energy is a powerful 1256. The wind is a clean cross-off, so it'll be surfable, but at 8ft it's pushing into that territory where it's better for the more experienced crew. The quality is still a bit marginal, but you can feel the energy in the water.

The stand-out window is Thursday, July 23rd. The morning sees a 7ft S swell (10-second period, 780 energy) with a clean cross-off. But the real prize is Thursday afternoon. The wind swings offshore from the W at 9 mph, cleaning up a 5ft S swell (9 seconds, 477 energy). That's the best on offer in the first week – clean, solid, and with that offshore grooming. This is your target.

We then hit a flat spell. From Friday, July 24th right through to Monday, July 27th, the swell drops right off and the wind is all over the shop. It's a grim run of small, weak, and messy conditions. A real bummer.

Things start to look interesting again on Tuesday, July 28th. The morning brings a 5ft S swell with a clean offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is a solid 284, and it's forecast to be good surf conditions. That's a solid option for a Tuesday session.

After another quiet stretch, the next big moment comes on Monday, August 3rd. The morning delivers a clean 7ft SSW swell with an 8-second period and a massive 754 energy reading. The wind is a gentle cross-off, and the forecast is for *very good surf conditions*. This is the standout of the entire outlook. It's still a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like a ripper.

Before that, on Sunday, August 2nd, we get a 6ft SSW swell with a light offshore breeze. It's surfable, but not the quality of the Monday. The rest of the first week of August is smaller, with 4ft S swells and offshore winds, which are clean but ordinary.

So, to sum it up: ride the Thursday afternoon session on the 23rd, and keep your fingers crossed for that Monday, August 3rd morning. That's the one that could be a proper session.

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.
