The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Shooting Gallery for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a total blank. No recommendations at all. There’s swell coming through, but the wind is a nightmare. It’s blowing from the north and north-northeast, cross-on or onshore, for the entire forecast. That’s going to leave the surface chopped up and lumpy. The wave quality is marked as poor for every session, so there’s no way to make it sound good.
The water is sitting at 73°F, which is pretty standard for the time of year. The swell energy is moderate, with numbers in the hundreds and occasionally cracking into the two hundreds, but it doesn’t matter when the wind is blowing it to pieces.
We start on Saturday, 1 August, with a small 2ft swell from the northwest, with a period around 10 seconds. That’s got some potential, but the 15 km/h north wind is making it a messy cross-on. This pattern just sticks around. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are more of the same – small, short-period windswell, with the wind staying on it. The swell builds a little through the first week, hitting 4ft by Thursday the 6th, but the wind is also picking up to 30 km/h, making it lumpy and unrideable.
By the second week, the swell gets a bit more size. Around Saturday the 15th, we’re looking at a 6ft swell from the north, with a 7-second period. The wind is still a problem, though it does back off to 15 km/h. It’s the best it’s going to get, but “best” here still means cross-on and fairly choppy. The energy is moderate (338), but the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.”
This is a spot that’s a consistent reef, intermediate-level, and fairly exposed to the swell. It’s a good setup, but the wind window is just not cooperating. For a beach and reef setup like this, with the persistent strong cross-onshore wind, honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler.
So, the outlook is grim. There are no good surf options in the 16-day window. The area is normally consistent, so a blank run like this is a bit of a bummer, but forecasts can change. For now, keep the board in the car and wait for the wind to ease off.
Rusty.
