The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's coming down the pipe at Shooting Gallery.
First off, the water's sittin' at 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice little bonus, that.
Right, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: the first week plus is a write-off. We've got a solid two-week gap before anything worth paddlin' out for shows up. From August 22nd all the way through to September 4th, it's a total dead zone. The wind is locked in from the north or north-northeast, blowin' cross-onshore or even directly onshore. That means the surface will be chopped up, lumpy, or just plain messy. We see swell heights from a knee-high 2ft up to a messy 7ft, but it don't matter the size when the wind is trashing it. The combined energy dips as low as 48 (weak) and climbs to a deceivin' 1345 (strong) on August 29th, but that's all wasted energy because of the garbage conditions. Forget about it.
Now, we do get a little glimmer of somethin'. On the afternoon of Sunday, August 23rd, we see a pulse of NNW groundswell at 4ft with a 14-second period (823 combined energy). The wind goes cross-shore, which is a bit better. The report says "marginal" though. Don't get your hopes up; it's still not clean.
The first real sniff of somethin' that could be okay don't come until the weekend of September 6th. Sunday, September 6th sees a long-period NNW groundswell rollin' in, 4ft for the morning (period of 13 seconds, 524 energy) and 3ft in the afternoon (12 seconds, 471 energy). The wind is still moderate cross-onshore though. It's the best of a bad bunch, but "best" here is a low bar.
Honestly, the whole 16 days is a struggle. Shootin' Gallery is a reef break that likes a clean NNW swell and ideally some offshore wind from the southwest. Instead, we get a constant northerly breeze. That's just not the recipe for clean barrels here. It’s a consistent spot but with these winds, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Unless the forecast shifts, leave the board at home.
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.
