Hey folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming our way. I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking like a write-off for anything decent. We've got a long stretch of small, messy junk coming in, and the wind just won't play ball.
Let's break it down. We're looking at Shooting Gallery, a reef setup that’s generally pretty consistent. Water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no worries there. But the surf itself? Forget it. From Sunday, July 5th, right through until Saturday, July 18th, it's a brutal run of poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 4ft, with very short periods – often 4 to 6 seconds – meaning no power or shape. The wind is constantly cross or cross-onshore, keeping everything choppy and lumpy. The wave energy during this period is weak, mostly in the double digits or low triple digits (like a weak energy of 26 or moderate energy of 109). This isn't surf for paddling; it's a frustrating paddle-out for nothing.
There is a bit of a pulse that pops up around Sunday, July 19th, with the swell building to 6ft from the North. The period climbs to 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps up (409 to 464), which suggests there'll be a lot more water moving around. But – and it's a big but – the wind is still a moderate onshore breeze from the North, making for lumpy, blown-out conditions. It’s still technically "poor surf" according to the data. The swell will be too big for beginners (over 5ft), and the onshore wind will kill any chance of a clean face for the experts.
Then into Monday, July 20th, the swell holds at 6ft from the North, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is strong (520). But again, the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making it a lumpy, bumpy mess. This is more of a windsurfing or kitesurfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. There's no one day to circle on the calendar. It's a long, bleak run. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but right now, don't expect much.
Rusty.

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. Our Shooting Gallery surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Shooting Gallery) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
