The Lowdown
Howdy, it’s Rusty. I gotta be straight with you—this next 16-day stretch is a total write-off. There’s no good surf on offer, not a single day worth paddling out. The only break in the forecast is Shooting Gallery, a consistent reef that usually pumps, but the wind and swell direction are all wrong. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 73°F (2°F above average), which might be nice for a swim, but not for surfing.
From Sunday July 19 right through to Monday August 3, every session is “poor surf conditions.” The wind is mostly cross-onshore from the north or north-northeast, blowing 12–22 mph, making the surface lumpy and choppy. Swell comes from the north or north-northeast, 2–8 ft, with a short period of 6–9 seconds—not the ideal north-northwest that this reef loves. The combined swell energy builds from 160 (moderate) up to 909 (strong) by July 27, but it’s all wasted. Even on the morning of July 30, when the wind drops to a light 6 mph from the north-northeast and is onshore, the surf is still poor. Nothing stands out. If you’re dreaming of a wave, you’ll have to wait for a change in the charts. This is a blank run, and for a spot that’s usually consistent, it’s a real bummer.

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.

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.
