The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a proper look at the next couple of weeks down at Shooting Gallery. It’s a reef setup that’s fairly exposed and consistent, but honestly, the numbers aren’t doing us any favours just yet.
We’re looking at a start that’s pretty gutless. The coming days are showing small, short-period swell and a stubborn cross-onshore wind. Water temp is sitting at 73°, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s going to be bumpy and uninviting. The swell energy is weak too, especially on Sunday and Monday, sitting down around the 114 to 154 mark. You’d be fighting the chop for not much reward.
There’s a bit more push coming through by Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, with swell heights starting to nudge over the 5ft mark, but it’s still pouring in from the north, which is never the optimum for this place. The energy climbs into the low-to-mid 200s and even touches 330, but that’s about as exciting as it gets, and it’s still messy. The period is short, 8 seconds at most, so it’s not going to have any real punch or shape.
The second week doesn’t offer much salvation. From the 10th onwards, it’s a continuation of the same story: moderate cross-onshore breezes, short-period north swell, and mixed-up conditions. There’s a fair bit of consistency in the swell, but it’s just not translating into quality. The energy is moderate, but the wind and the direction just kill it.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there’s nothing here that I’d call a standout. It’s a whole lot of “poor surf conditions” for Shooting Gallery. There are no real clean windows, no proper groundswell, and no decent winds. We’re looking at a blank run. With the wind and the chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period.
It’s a rough stretch. Hang tight, though – a consistent reef like this doesn’t stay poor forever. Forecasts change. But for now, save the energy and wait for a better swell.
