The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, and I ain't gonna sugar-coat it – the surf scene at Shooting Gallery is looking real flat and blown-out for the next couple weeks. Let's dig into it.
The first mentionable surf rolls in on Tuesday, August 11th, but it's a bummer. We're talking a weak 3 ft swell from the north, with pathetic energy (118). The wind's cranking from the NNE at 16 mph, painting the whole lineup with a nasty cross-onshore chop. Water temp is 74°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only silver lining.
Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th are more of the same – swell stays between 3 ft and 4 ft, with the same lousy cross-onshore wind. The period is short, 5 to 6 seconds, so no power, no shape. The energy number climbs a bit (up to 216), but it's all wind-slop, not surf.
Friday the 14th sees it jump to 4 ft, but the NNE wind at 16 mph has it totally wrecked. Saturday the 15th has a moment in the morning with 5 ft swell and a 7-second period, but again, strong wind ruins it.
That pattern just keeps up all through the second week. Swell from the north, 3 ft to 4 ft, and the wind never really lets up – 16 mph to 19 mph, almost always cross-onshore or onshore. A few afternoon windows towards the 19th and 20th get a little more side-shore, but the swell drops to 3 ft to 3 ft, and the energy is weak (117 to 151). Every single report says "poor surf conditions."
Shooting Gallery is a reef that likes a NNW swell, but we're stuck with north energy and short periods. Even when the period stretches to 10 seconds on the 24th and 25th, the swell is tiny (2 ft) and the wind is still messy.
This is a proper lull, mates. The consistent onshore breeze and lack of any decent groundswell mean it's really not worth the drive. For the next 16 days, it's a kite-surfing wind-fest, not a surfer's paradise. Hang loose and hope the next system delivers.
Rusty.

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.
