Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for Pilgrim Avenue over the next couple of weeks. It's not looking like a classic run, so keep your expectations in check.
Right off the bat, we've got a pretty bleak stretch. For the first week or so, from the start of July right through to the 10th, it's mostly small, messy, and underwhelming. The swell is tiny, often under 2 feet, with short, weak periods that just don't have the grunt to make this reef-and-point setup work. The winds are a constant issue, either cross, cross-on, or just strong, so the surface is rarely clean. There's really nothing to get excited about here.
The first hint of anything worth a paddle shows up on Saturday the 11th of July. We see a bit of a lift, with a 4ft S swell starting to roll in, period pushing up to 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 272 (moderate). The wind is a cross-off, so the face should be reasonably clean. It's still only a marginal look, but it's the first time you might find a workable peak.
Things get a bit more interesting the following weekend. Saturday the 18th of July sees a push of 5ft to 6ft S swell, with the energy climbing into the high 200s and up to 391, which is moderate to strong. The wind stays cross-off, so the waves should have some shape. Sunday the 19th holds similar 5ft S swell with energy at 286, but the wind picks up fresh out of the SSW, which will start to mess things up.
The standout window in this whole forecast is the morning of Saturday the 18th of July. That morning session looks the best on offer. You've got that 5ft S swell, a decent period, and the cross-off wind should keep the lineup at Pilgrim Avenue (United States) clean and rideable. The water here is running about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It's not perfect, and the 5ft height will be pushing it for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is the one to circle on the calendar. Just be aware that the combined energy is moderate-strong, so there will be some push to the sets.
Just keep in mind, the second half of July has a few more days of smaller surf before that Saturday pulse. Don't expect much until the 18th.
Rusty.

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.
