The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let's talk about the same stretch of coast, but in feet and miles.

We're looking at a pretty grim 16-day outlook. The only spot in the mix is Shooting Gallery, a consistent reef that gets a fair bit of swell, but the wind gods are not smiling. It's cross-onshore winds for nearly the whole run, which is going to make a mess of things.

The action starts Saturday, August 8th, with a 4ft north swell. The problem is a stiff 15 mph cross-onshore wind that's already kicking up chop. The combined swell energy is only moderate at 257 (combined energy of all swells directed here), so there's not much power. This pattern holds through the first week. The swell will be between 3ft and 5ft, but the wind is a constant problem, guaranteeing poor surf conditions every day. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing special.

The first week is a total loss. Into the second week, the wind doesn't let up. The swell is small, peaking around 5ft on Saturday, August 15th, but it's still blown out. The only flicker of hope comes on Saturday, August 22nd, when the wind briefly turns offshore at 6 mph. That could offer a few clean waves. The swell is only 4ft from the north with a period of 9 seconds, so nothing to write home about, but it's the only chance for a clean wave in the whole forecast. The combined energy is weak at 209 (combined energy of all swells directed here).

There's no highlight here. This entire 16-day window is a long stretch of choppy, cross-onshore junk. If you're really keen, that light offshore on Saturday the 22nd morning might gift you a couple of clean ones, but I wouldn't rearrange your schedule for it.

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.
