The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Shooting Gallery over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this forecast and it’s a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell with no real surf on offer. The entire 16-day window is a blank run. It’s not a total shocker for this area, but that doesn’t make it any easier to swallow. The first recommendation doesn’t come until Wednesday, September 2nd, and even then, it’s a no-go.
The pattern from the start is pretty grim. We’ve got a moderate cross-onshore breeze and choppy conditions right from the get-go, with combined swell energy sitting at a moderate 415. That’s a 6ft swell from the north, but with a short, weak period of 8 seconds, the surf is just too messy and blown out to bother with. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
As we move into Thursday, the swell drops right off to 3ft, and the energy fades to 137. The wind is still cross-onshore, keeping things fairly choppy. It’s a total washout. Friday and Saturday are more of the same – small, weak, and choppy, with swell energy dropping below 100 at times. The wind stays onshore or cross-shore, and the period is a short 6 to 7 seconds. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
The pattern holds through the first week. We see a slight bump in swell energy around Monday, September 7th, hitting a moderate 480, but the swell is still a short, wind-affected 5ft from the north, and the wind is a consistent cross-onshore. It’s still poor surf conditions. The whole first week is plagued by a moderate breeze and choppy, messy conditions.
Into the second week, the forecast doesn’t get any kinder. The swell remains small and weak, with periods that finally stretch out to 10 or 11 seconds on the 12th and 13th, but the swell height is only 2ft to 2ft. The wind is still a cross-onshore breeze, so even with a bit more period, there’s nothing to grab. The energy spikes up to 361 on Thursday, September 17th, with a 3ft swell from the west-northwest and a long 12-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy and rough. It’s just not a surfer’s wave.
So, there’s no standout here. Not a single day to get excited about. The forecast is a long, flat, and windy stretch. It’s the kind of run that makes you check the forecast again tomorrow. Hang in there, lads.
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.
