The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks for Shooting Gallery. It’s a reef setup, pretty consistent and exposed to the north-northwest, which is the direction we want to see swell from.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions from Wednesday the 2nd all the way through to Tuesday the 15th. The wind is a real problem here; it’s mostly cranking out of the north and northeast at 12 to 18 mph, putting a nasty cross-onshore chop on everything. The water is currently sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
The swell sticks around, but it’s a messy, short-period windswell – mostly 3 to 5 feet with a period of just 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, but it’s all useless with that wind. This is a classic case of a lot of energy but no quality. For a reef break, this is just a washing machine.
The real standout, the only bright spot in the whole 16-day window, is the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September. We finally get a break in the wind. It’s forecast to be glassy with a light NNE breeze at just 3 mph. That’s the green light. The swell is a clean 3 feet from the northwest with a much better 11-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is still moderate, but with glassy conditions, that reef will start working. It’s the only time the waves are described as "surfable," but honestly, for a picky spot like this, that’s the one window to aim for. It’s still a bit small, but it’ll be the cleanest we see.
After that, the wind switches back to a cross-shore from the northwest on the 17th, and it’s back to the chop. So, there’s your one session. If you can get out there on the 16th morning, you might score a few clean ones. The rest of the period is a skip.
Rusty.
