Table - best surf conditions forecast for Shooting Gallery over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’m gonna be honest with you – this is a tough 16-day stretch for Shooting Gallery. The whole period is a bit of a write-off for decent paddle surfing. The swell’s pretty much always there, but the wind is just not playing ball.
We kick off on Sunday, July 12th, with a small 4ft NW swell at 8 seconds, but it’s blown out with a cross-on NNE breeze. The water’s sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combo tops out at a moderate 177 (combined energy). It’s choppy and messy—honestly, not worth paddling out for.
Monday the 13th looks similar, with that clean NNE wind swinging onshore, but the swell drops to 3ft. Same story on Tuesday the 14th, with the swell fading to 3ft and the energy dropping to a weak 93 (combined energy). There’s a bit of a gap here with poor conditions where the swell is just too small and winds are against us.
The swell starts to build again from Thursday the 16th, hitting 4ft, but it’s short period at 6 seconds and the wind is still cross-on and choppy. By Friday the 17th, we’re seeing 5ft at 7 seconds, but the wind picks up to 19 mph from the north, making it lumpy. The energy is climbing into the 200s (combined energy), but it’s all for nothing with that wind.
The worst of it is from Saturday the 18th all the way through to the following weekend. By Sunday the 19th, the swell is 6ft at 8 seconds – that’s moderate energy at 379 (combined energy) – but it’s a fresh, cross-on northerly at 19 mph. It’s lumpy, choppy, and frankly, better suited for a kite than a paddleboard. The size keeps building, hitting 6ft on Monday the 20th with 505 (combined energy), but the wind doesn’t let up. This pattern holds through to the 25th of July, with the swell staying around 6ft to 6ft but constantly cross-on or onshore, always with a moderate to fresh breeze.
We finally see a bit of a drop-off on the 26th, but it’s still cross-on and messy. The last day on the charts, Monday the 27th, is the same old story. No standout days here, folks. The wind just never gives us a clean window. The only good news is Shooting Gallery is a consistent reef break, so it’ll catch whatever is out there, but the conditions are just poor for the entire outlook.
Rusty, signing off.

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.

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.
