The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Shooting Gallery. The next couple of weeks are a real bummer—no decent surf to speak of. The first chance comes on Wednesday, 29 July, with a small, short-period swell from the north at 1.0m (5-second period). The water’s at 73°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Wind is onshore from the NNE at 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. The wave energy is weak at 86, so there’s no juice.
The rest of the first week is the same story. Thursday the 30th bumps to 1.3m, but it’s still short-period (7 seconds) and cross-onshore. Wind stays moderate, energy ticks up, but it’s all “poor.” Friday and Saturday are small and choppy. By Saturday afternoon, the swell drops to 0.7m with a 10-second period, but the wind is cross-shore, so it’s not clean.
No standout days in the first week. The wind is never truly offshore, and the periods are short. The energy peaks around 210 on Saturday, but it’s all chop.
Second week, from Monday 3 August onward, it’s more of the same. Small, short-period swell from the north or NNE, with persistent cross-onshore winds. Swell hangs around 1.0m to 1.4m, periods at 6-8 seconds. Energy climbs to 300 on Friday 7 August afternoon, but wind ruins it. By Saturday 8 August, still choppy. The last days, from 9 August to 13 August, wind picks up to 19 mph from the north, making it lumpy and fresh.
This reef break is fairly exposed, but with the wind from the north and northeast, and the swell from the same direction, it’s just not working. Optimum swell is from the NNW, and we’re not getting that. Crowds are “sometimes” an issue, but with these conditions, you’ll have the place to yourself.
No standout break here. The whole 16-day window is a stretch of poor surf. If you’re desperate, the mornings on 5 August and 6 August have lighter wind at 9 mph, but the swell is tiny and short—1.4m and 0.8m. Not worth it.
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.
