The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, givin’ you the imperial read on Shooting Gallery.
Let’s be straight – this 16-day window is a tough one for this spot. Every single session in the forecast is marked as poor surf quality. The wind just doesn’t let up, blowin’ cross-onshore or straight onshore, keeping the surface all torn up.
Kickin’ off on Friday, August 14th, we’ve got a 4ft swell from the north, but a 12 mph onshore wind from the NNE ruins it. That’s your theme for the first week. Swell sizes bounce between 2ft and 5ft, with short periods from 6 to 9 seconds – nothin’ with any punch. Combined energy stays in the weak to moderate range, from 103 to 265. Winds are always blowin’ in the wrong direction, from a gentle 6 mph to a fresh 19 mph, keepin’ it lumpy.
Come Tuesday, August 25th, there’s a bit more size – 7ft to 7ft from the NNE, but again, short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 489–604. The wind is still cross-onshore from the NNE at 12 mph. That’s a chunky, messy wave. Over 5ft, it’s gettin’ too big for beginners, and with that wind, it ain’t clean enough for experts to really enjoy either.
This pattern holds through the end of the forecast on Saturday, August 29th, with swell droppin’ back to 4ft and energy down to 226. The wind never goes offshore or light – it’s always messin’ with the surface.
There’s no single day worth highlightin’ here. The combination of poor surf quality and constant onshore wind means Shooting Gallery is not on for the next sixteen days. Best to give it a miss and keep an eye on the charts for a cleaner window.
Rusty.

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.

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.
