The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on Shooting Gallery for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a bit of a tough stretch. For the first six days, from September 8th right through to the 13th, don’t even bother paddling out. The wind is pumping from the north and northeast, smashing the surface up cross-onshore, and the swell is just messy with short periods. The wave energy is weak to moderate, topping out at only 313 on the Tuesday morning before dropping. It’s a write-off.
Then we hit a bit of a lull, a real gap, where there’s basically nothing good to chase until Monday the 14th. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s something if you’re just floating around, but for waves? Nope.
Now, here’s the one bright spot on the calendar. On Monday morning, September 14th, the stars line up for a few hours. We’ve got a light WNW breeze blowing cross-offshore, cleaning up the lineup nicely. The swell is small at 2 feet, but it’s a long-period groundswell from the NNW at 13 seconds, which is proper. The wave energy is moderate at 278, and for a reef break like Shooting Gallery, that long period will wrap in nicely and hold shape. It won’t be big, but it’ll be fun, clean, and surfable. Crowds are possible here, especially when it looks good, so get in early.
After that morning session on the 14th, it’s back to average conditions. The wind swings around again, the energy drops, and we’re looking at a long run of poor through to the 23rd of September. There’s a swell around 1 feet from the NW with a 16-second period on the 23rd morning, but it’s onshore and weak, so not worth getting excited about.
So, best bet? That Monday morning, September 14th, at Shooting Gallery. It’s the only standout in this whole 16-day window. The rest of the time, you might as well be checking the wind stats for a kite session.
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.
