The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipeline for Shooting Gallery.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking like a real write-off for any sort of decent surf at Shooting Gallery. We’re looking at a solid block of poor surf conditions from the 15th of July right through to the 30th. Not a single standout window, not one moment where the stars align.
The pattern is relentless. We’ve got a consistent run of cross-onshore winds that just won’t let up. From the start, the wind is out of the NNE at 12 mph, and it only gets stronger, hitting 19 mph regularly from the 19th onwards. That’s a fresh breeze, and it’s going to put a nasty chop on everything. The swell is there, but it’s not doing us any favors. The combined energy is moderate, ranging from 65 to 327, but the swell direction is mostly from the north, which is not the optimum NNW direction for this spot. The period is short, between 6 and 8 seconds, so it’s just windswell – no real punch or shape to it.
The one bit of interesting news is the water temp. It’s sitting at 74°F and is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a paddle won’t be a shock to the system. But don’t let that fool you; the surf is a no-go.
The size will bump up a bit around the 22nd and 23rd of July, with swell heights hitting 5 ft to 5 ft. But with that onshore wind and short period, it’s just going to be a lumpy, messy wall of whitewater. This kind of setup is honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So, there you have it. A blank run. Sometimes it just stays poor for a while, and this is one of those times. Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the forecast, because things can change, but for now, there’s nothing to recommend here.
Rusty.
