The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Shooting Gallery. To be straight with you, it's a grim run. This is a stretch where we just don't have much to work with.
The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for decent surf. The wind is a constant problem, hammering in from the north and northeast, keeping the ocean messy and lumpy. It's a long stretch of poor conditions, with no real standouts to get excited about.
For the first week, from Friday the 21st of August right through to the end of the month, it's a case of persistent cross-onshore winds. The swell is small and weak – the combined energy is mostly in the low to mid hundreds, with a few days pushing into the 600s and 700s (like Sunday afternoon the 23rd and Monday morning the 24th), but the wind just ruins any chance of a clean wave. You're looking at waves around 3 ft to 5 ft, mostly from the north or north-northwest, with short periods. The water temperature is about average for the time of year. It's just not worth paddling out.
The second week doesn't offer any hope either. From the 1st of September onward, the pattern continues. More north to northeast wind, more choppy, poor surf. The swell does pick up a bit, with Saturday the 29th of August seeing a 7 ft north swell and combined energy hitting 1003, but it's accompanied by a strong onshore breeze. That's too big for beginners and the wind makes it a messy, lumpy affair. It would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at that point. The rest of the week is more of the same: small, weak, and wind-blown.
So, the hard truth is there's nothing to get excited about at Shooting Gallery over this entire forecast period. It's a poor run for a spot that is usually fairly consistent. Sometimes it just goes blank for a while, and that's what we've got.
Rusty.

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.
