The Lowdown
Right, Pilgrim Avenue. For the first week and a half, it’s looking pretty flat and uninspiring. We’re talking days of tiny, weak swell—mostly around 0.3ft to 3ft with short-period, messy energy. The combined energy readings are all in the double digits, way below 100, so it’s barely a ripple. There’s a long stretch from Tuesday the 11th right through to late on Saturday the 16th where you’d be lucky to get a ride. The winds are a mixed bag, but even when it’s glassy or clean, there’s just no push. It’s one of those frustrating periods where the ocean looks good but delivers nothing.
Then, finally, Monday the 17th morning brings a bit of life. A solid 6ft SSW swell rolls in, with the combined energy jumping to 346 (moderate), and a clean offshore WNW wind at 9 mph. That’s the best window in the whole 16-day forecast. The swell is a bit short-period at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and won’t have that long, lined-up feel, but with the wind nicely offshore, Pilgrim Avenue should have some clean, rideable waves. It’s pushing into that intermediate territory, so beginners might find it a bit much. The afternoon drops to 5ft and the wind goes cross-off, so still surfable but less special.
After that, it drops back off. The next highlight is a brief glimmer on Tuesday the 25th afternoon. The wind goes glassy, and we get another 6ft SSW pulse, but the energy is lower at 260 (moderate) and the period is a short 6 seconds. It’ll be a fat, weak wave, and with the ground swell being short-period, it’s not going to have much punch. Still, if you’re desperate, it’s a window.
So, the standout is Monday the 17th morning. Get on it. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a write-off. The forecast is a bit of a tease—shows decent swell but can’t back it up with good conditions for long.

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.
