The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – I’ve had a good look at Shooting Gallery for the next couple weeks, and the news is pretty flat. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch here, so don’t get your hopes up for any quick scores.

For the first week, right from Thursday the 3rd of September through to the following weekend, the swell never really gets its act together. We’re seeing mostly weak, short-period windswell from the north with heights of 3 to 5 ft – but the wind is a killer. It’s cross-on or onshore nearly the whole time, with speeds ranging from 9 to 19 mph. That’s making for fairly choppy, bumpy conditions. The combined swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, starting around 125 and building to a few hundred by Monday the 7th, but the wind just won’t give us a clean window. The water is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice bonus if you’re in, but the surf is just poor.

There’s really no standout session in this whole 16-day run. Even when the swell drops back to 2 to 2 ft around Monday the 14th of September, the period jumps up to 14-15 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell – but the wind is still cross-on from the north at 12 mph, which wrecks any chance of clean waves. A long period north-northwest swell like that, with a moderate cross-offshore wind, *could* have been something special at a reef like Shooting Gallery. Instead, we get choppy, messy faces.

The second week looks similar: small, wind-affected waves with low energy. The combined energy values run from 137 up to 352, but that’s almost entirely from short-period chop, not from any good, organized swell.

Honestly, there isn’t one single recommendation I can give you for the whole 16-day window. It’s a blank run. For this area, though, it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board at home.

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.

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.
