Table - best surf conditions forecast for Shooting Gallery over the next 16 days.


Alright, Rusty here. Let's be real, this is a tough one for the whole 16-day window. The only break on the cards is Shooting Gallery, and honestly, it's a frustrating stretch for the most part. We're looking at a long-term forecast that's pretty much a write-off for quality surf.

We start on Thursday, July 9th, and it's grim. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 72°, but that's about the only good thing. Swell is tiny, barely 2ft from the north, with a short, weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a pathetic 43, and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. This pattern of poor surf conditions, with small, weak swell and cross-onshore winds, just drags on and on through the 10th, 11th, and into the 12th.

There's a small pulse on Sunday the 12th—swell bumps up to 3ft from the NNW, with a period stretching to 11 seconds, and the energy jumps to 269. That's a bit more juice, but the wind is still cross-onshore, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions." It's a tease.

We then hit a long, flat gap. From Monday the 13th right through to Wednesday the 22nd, it's a bleak run of poor surf. The swell hovers around 2ft to 5ft, but the wind is never favorable. It's constantly cross-onshore, onshore, or just lumpy. The energy values are moderate, ranging from 66 to 256, but it's all blown out. There's a period from the 16th to the 18th where the wind picks up to a fresh breeze (19 mph), making it even more of a mess. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The only real standout is a potential window on Thursday, July 23rd and Friday, July 24th. The swell is consistent at 6ft from the north, with an 8-second period, and the energy is strong, hitting 345 and 364. That's the biggest, most powerful swell of the whole period. However, the wind is still moderate to fresh cross-onshore, and the wave comment is still "poor surf conditions." There's a chance on Friday the 24th afternoon that the wind goes cross-shore, but it's still a fresh breeze with a lumpy cross-chop. For a reef break, 6ft with those winds is only going to be for the experts who don't mind a battle.

So, what's the best on offer? It's a sad choice, but that end of the second week, around July 23rd and 24th, is the only time there's any real power. But don't get your hopes up. It's a long way out, and the wind is a massive question mark. If the wind lies down and goes clean offshore (SW), then Shooting Gallery could be a diamond in the rough. But for now, it's a long-range, promising but less certain prospect at best.

For the rest of the 16 days, keep your board in the car and wait for a better forecast. The waves just aren't cooperating.

Rusty.

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.

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.
