The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight up: we've got one spot on the radar for this whole 16-day stretch, and it's not exactly firing. We're looking at a pretty blank run for the most part.
Right from the start on Sunday the 6th, it's a no-go. Through the first week and into the second, we've got a constant stream of northerly winds smacking the coast, keeping things choppy and messy. The swell is hanging around, but the quality just isn't there.
The only place with any hope is Shooting Gallery (reef). It's a consistent spot that's fairly exposed to the swell, but for this whole period, the conditions are fighting it. The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn't show up until Saturday the 19th of September, and even then it's only a marginal call. That morning, we've got a 4ft swell from the north with light cross-onshore breezes, making for a messy but maybe just about doable session. The water temp is sitting at a nice 75°F, a touch warmer than usual, which is a bonus.
The best of a bad bunch actually falls on the morning of Monday the 21st of September. We see a 4ft swell from the NNW with a 10-second period (a bit of groundswell in there) and a light onshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (366). It's not perfect, but compared to the rest of this outlook, it's the cleanest option we get. The wind is light, so the surface should be fairly tidy.
Honestly, for the rest of it, the persistent north wind just ruins the party. There's enough swell around to keep the energy up, with combined energy values often in the 200-300 range, but the cross-onshore wind keeps it all blown out and lumpy. The reef setup might offer a little shelter, but with the wind direction we have, it's a struggle.
So, if you're desperate, keep an eye on that Monday the 21st morning. Otherwise, it's a waiting game. The break is consistent, so it won't stay poor forever – forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
