The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Pilgrim Avenue over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook’s a proper bummer. There’s no decent swell on the cards for the full 16 days. From Tuesday the 8th, it’s all tiny dribble – 0.3ft to 1ft waves out of the southeast, with combined swell energy in the single digits or low teens, basically flat. Wind’s mostly cross-shore or cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. Right through to the morning of Monday the 21st, every session scores a zero, maybe one or two barely scraping a one. That’s nearly two weeks of barely a ripple.
The one moment that pops – and I mean barely – is Monday the 21st of September. That morning you get a pulse of 4ft swell from the SSW, but it’s short period at 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 126 (moderate), so there’s finally some weight in the water. Winds are offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, giving you clean, gentle offshore conditions. It’s rideable but nothing special – just the best of a bad bunch. Pilgrim Avenue’s a reef and point setup, so short-period swell can be a bit fat, but with clean wind you might find a few crumblers.
Everything before and after that is flat or near enough. When the ocean’s got no push, there’s not much to do. Sometimes the area goes through a dead spell – this is one of them.
Keep watching the forecasts; they can flip.
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.
