The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Alright, let's be straight with you. The outlook for Pilgrim Avenue is a bit of a bummer for the next week or so. The best we can say is that there are a few mornings where the waves are just about surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary. The swell is small and weak, and the wind is mostly cross-off, which is clean but not doing us any favours.
The pick of a very average bunch is Tuesday, August 4th. The morning session is about as good as it gets for this stretch. We've got a clean 4ft wave from the S, with a period of 8 seconds, and a light cross-off wind from the SW at 3 mph. The combined wave energy is moderate (251). The water temp is about average for this time of year. It's not going to be a day to remember, but it's the only window where the waves have a bit of height and the wind is light.
After that, conditions drop off. Tuesday afternoon sees a weaker 3ft SSW swell, and the rest of the week is a slow grind of small, short-period swell. The wind stays clean but the energy just isn't there. By Thursday, August 6th, the swell is down to 3ft with a 6-second period, and a moderate breeze makes it feel even smaller.
There is a small window on Monday, August 10th, in the morning, where we get a true offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph. The swell is only 3ft from the SSW, with a short 6-second period, and the energy is weak (78). The wind will make it glassy, but the waves will be small and weak.
From Wednesday, August 12th, things get really grim. The wind switches to cross-on, and the swell drops into the 3ft range with hardly any energy. There are days of tiny, weak waves. The only small glimmer way out is on Monday, August 18th, when the surf is a tiny 1ft, but the wind is cross-off and clean. Nothing to get excited about.
For a spot that's a fairly consistent reef and point, this is a very poor run. The swell is too small and the periods are too short to do much. If you're an absolute beginner, maybe the Tuesday morning could be a fun paddle, but for anyone else, it's a long wait.
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.
