The Lowdown

Imperial

G’day, Rusty here. And I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for Shooting Gallery is a bit of a sad story. The whole run is a write-off for clean, surfable waves, so don’t hold your breath.

The first few days from Thursday 16th July are a total dud. We’re talking a tiny 1 ft of weak WNW swell, with a period of just 9 seconds. The wind is onshore and the water’s 74°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. It’s a tough one to swallow.

Then from Friday 17th July right through the end of the month, things get a bit bigger but stay messy. Swell builds from 4 ft to pushing 7 ft by the weekend of the 26th, coming mainly from the north. The combined energy climbs from around 106 (moderate) all the way up to 597 (strong) by the 26th, but it’s all for nothing. The wind is a constant cross-onshore, fresh breeze, turning the ocean into a lumpy, choppy mess. The period is short, between 6 and 8 seconds, so there’s no real power or shape. Every single day is tagged with “poor surf conditions.”

The break itself is a consistent reef, but it’s fairly exposed to the north, and with the wind blowing straight over it all day, it’s just not going to work. The swell is too big for beginners by the 20th (over 5 ft), and by the 25th it’s over 7 ft, which is more of a challenge for experts only, but the wind makes it unsurfable for anyone.

Honestly, with this setup – strong onshore winds, short-period swell, and a lumpy sea state – it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s not a single standout day in the entire 16 days. Just a long, flat, windy gap between now and the end of the month. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a no-go.

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.
