Table - best surf conditions forecast for Shooting Gallery over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: we’ve got a grim 16-day stretch ahead for our local break. I’ve stared at the numbers, and every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell is coming from the wrong direction, the wind is a mess, and there’s just no good window to paddle out. The first recommendation isn’t until the 11th of July, and it’s a false dawn.
Shooting Gallery – The first couple of days are a write-off. Saturday the 11th has a tiny 1ft swell from the NW, but it’s a messy cross-shore with a cross-chop, and the energy is weak (50). You’d be better off staying home. Sunday the 12th through to the 15th stays small, with onshore and cross-onshore winds ruining any chance of clean lines. The swell bumps up to 4ft on the 16th, but the period drops to a pathetic 6 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph – lumpy, choppy, and not worth the paddle.
From the 20th of July onwards, the swell starts to build. The 21st sees 5ft to 6ft from the N with moderate energy (394 to 504), but the wind is still cross-on or onshore, and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” On the 22nd, we get a 6ft N swell with a bit more period (10 seconds) and the energy jumps to strong (622), but again, the wind is onshore and the conditions are unknown. The water temp is about 72°F which is 1°F warmer than average – nothing remarkable, just a touch comfortable.
The real kicker comes on the 23rd of July. The swell is 5ft from the N with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is strong (452). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, and it’s raining. This is a classic case of a solid swell being completely wasted by poor wind. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, so with that much wind and swell, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Honestly, the whole 16 days is a bust. The consistency is there, but the conditions are not. Sometimes that’s just how it goes.
Rusty.

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.
