The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.

We’re looking at a pretty solid run of onshore and cross-onshore wind at Shooting Gallery, and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The surf quality is rated poor across the entire 16-day window, so there’s no standout day to get excited about. The first recommendation shows up on August 10th, but don’t hold your breath.

Starting Monday, August 10th, we’ve got a north-northeast breeze at 19 mph, making things cross-onshore and lumpy. Swell is a small 4 ft from the north, with a short 6-second period – that’s weak, choppy, and messy. The combined energy is only 159, so there’s not much power behind it. Water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won’t save the session.

This pattern barely changes through the week. Tuesday the 11th stays similar – 3 ft from the north, 6-7 second period, and moderate cross-onshore winds. Wednesday and Thursday are more of the same: 3 ft to 4 ft, north-northeast to north swell, and the wind stays cross-onshore. The energy bumps up a bit on Thursday morning to 229, but the wind is still messing it up.

Into the weekend, Saturday the 15th sees a 4 ft north swell with 7-second period and 238 energy, but again, it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Sunday the 16th drops off to 3 ft and 2 ft, and the wind goes cross-shore, but it’s still not clean.

The second week doesn’t bring any relief. From Monday the 17th through to Sunday the 24th, we’re stuck with the same story: 3 ft to 5 ft swells, mostly from the north, with cross-onshore winds. The one interesting blip is Monday the 24th afternoon – a tiny 1 ft swell but from the northwest with an 18-second period, giving 201 energy. That’s a very long-period groundswell, but with such small height, it’s not going to do much at a reef break, and the wind is still cross-onshore. Not worth chasing.

The closest we get to a bigger pulse is Sunday the 23rd morning, with 5 ft from the north and 8-second period, energy hitting 353. But the wind is onshore, and the comment says “poor surf conditions.” For a reef break, that’s going to be a washing machine, not a wave.

Bottom line: nothing recommended here. It’s a long dry spell with no clean surf. If you’ve got a kite, you might have more fun than a paddle surfer, because the wind is consistent and the waves are junky.

Rusty out.

Information about the Shooting Gallery Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Shooting Gallery provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Shooting Gallery can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Shooting Gallery 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 (Shooting Gallery) 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 Shooting Gallery 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.
