The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Looking at Shooting Gallery, and I gotta tell ya, it’s a long stretch of nothing before we see any life. For the first 12 days, right through till late on the 29th of August, the surf is poor. Wind is relentless, onshore, and cross-onshore, just tearing up the surface. The swell is small, weak, and short-period, with energy levels between 107 and 433 (moderate energy but all wrong). Don’t even bother.
We finally get a pulse on Sunday morning the 30th of August. Swell hits 7ft from the N, period stretching to 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits 722 (moderate energy). But it’s still cross-onshore and choppy. It’s a marginal call at best. Water temp is 74°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The real window opens the next morning: Monday the 31st of August. That morning, Shooting Gallery sees a clean 7ft N swell with a gorgeous long period of 12 seconds (proper groundswell). The combined energy jumps to 1135 (strong wave energy). The wind is light offshore from the NNE, so the waves should be clean and lined up. That’s your day. Because it’s a reef break that loves a N to NNW swell, this is the one session with real potential. Sets will be powerful with longer waits. 7ft on a reef with that punch is for experienced surfers only. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so expect a few others with the same idea.
After that, the wind turns back onshore and the quality drops again into early September, with lumpy, choppy conditions. So if you can, make that Monday the 31st your target. The rest of the forecast is a bust.
Rusty.

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.
