The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough one to call right now. The whole 16-day window looks like a write-off for any decent surf. There's nothing that's even close to being worth a paddle out. We're looking at a solid stretch of days with nothing but poor surf conditions, so don't hold your breath.
The first real chance of anything is out at Shooting Gallery (a reef break). But to be straight with you, it's a disappointing run. The wind is almost always a problem, coming across from the north or northwest, creating a nasty cross-onshore chop. The swell is small and weak, with the combined energy rarely topping 300 (moderate at best), and often sitting in the low hundreds. A few days around the 2nd of September see a little more size, with swell heights around 6ft to 6ft, but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and messy. That's not a fun session.
Later in the first week, the swell drops right off. By the 4th and 5th, we're looking at tiny waves under 3ft with a weak, short-period windswell. The wind shifts to more of a cross-shore, but it's still not clean. The whole setup is more suited for a kite than a surfboard, to be honest.
There's a slight pulse of longer-period energy around the 7th of September, with a 14-second swell showing up, but the height is tiny, only 2ft, and it's combined with a 15-second period on the 6th that's basically nothing. That's a classic case of a lot of period but no power to push it. The wind is still cross-onshore, so it's not going to be the clean, lined-up waves you'd hope for.
The second week doesn't offer any redemption. The swell stays small, the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the scores are all zeros. From the 14th of September onward, it's the same story: weak swell, small waves, and nothing to get excited about.
This is a blank run. There are no standouts. No hidden gems. The best advice I can give you is to leave the board in the car and go do something else. It's a proper flat spell for this area. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing on the horizon.
Rusty.

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.
