The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve been staring at the charts for Shooting Gallery, and I gotta be honest with you, it’s a grim outlook. There’s no sugar-coating this one. The entire 16-day window is a total write-off for us. There are zero good surf options on offer from the 22nd of July all the way through to the 6th of August. It’s a long, dry spell of nothing but poor surf conditions.
The main issue is that persistent northerly wind. It just won’t let up. This creates a constant cross-onshore wind that wrecks the face of the swell. Every single day, from Wednesday morning through to the end, it’s described as choppy, lumpy, or just plain messy. The swell energy builds up a bit, reaching a moderate reading of 527 in the combined energy around the 26th of July, and the swell height pushes up to 7 ft, but with that wind, it’s pure junk. That size and the short, weak 8-second period would just be a washing machine.
There’s a little tease on the 30th and 31st of July where the wind goes "on" – probably offshore – but the data still classifies those conditions as poor, and the fetches turn back to messy cross-onshore by afternoon. The water temp is around 73°F here, which is pretty average for the time of year.
Honestly, for this stretch, the whole setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. I don't like saying it, but this is one of those blank runs that feels normal for this spot. You’d be saving your energy and waiting for a change. The forecasts can always turn around, but for now, there’s nothing to chase.

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.
