Right, let’s take a look at this stretch of coastline. Over the next 16 days, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating run. You’re looking at a long gap right at the start, with no real surf on offer until Friday 3rd July, and even then, it’s a tough sell. Most of the period is a write-off. The first few days have some waist-high swell, but the wind is all cross or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. There’s a brief, small window of moderate wave energy around the weekend, but it’s nothing to get excited about.
The one and only standout here is Shooting Gallery. This is a consistent reef break, best for intermediates. It’s fairly exposed to the swell but the optimum direction is NNW, and we get a bit of that early on. The best chance you’ll get is Friday morning 3rd July. Swell is a clean 5ft from the N with a 9-second period, giving weak, borderline moderate wave energy (334). The water temp is a normal 71°, no surprises there. The wind is a gentle breeze from the NW, so it’s cross-shore but only causing a slight cross-chop. It’s not perfect but it’s the cleanest it’s going to be. Later that afternoon the wind swings cross-onshore and it goes to poor. By Saturday the swell drops to 4ft, but it’s all cross-shore wind. After that, the swell dies and the wind stays ugly through to mid-July. There’s a slight bump in size from around 12th July, but the wind is persistently moderate cross-onshore, keeping it choppy and unappealing. For the second week, the swell tries to push up again around Friday 17th July and Saturday 18th July, with heights around 5ft to 6ft from the N with periods up to 8 seconds, and moderate wave energy climbing to 499. But again, the wind stays cross-onshore, making for poor conditions. At those sizes, it’s getting a bit big for beginners, and with the chop, it’s messy for everyone. Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite session than paddle surfing for most of it. The crowds at Shooting Gallery can be around sometimes, but with this forecast, I doubt it’ll be busy.

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.
