The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Shooting Gallery over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch. The forecast just doesn’t want to play ball. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window where the surf is anything but inviting. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, about 74°, but that’s the only warm thing about this outlook.
From Thursday, the 6th of August, right through to the end of the period, it’s a long, sad run of “poor surf conditions”. Every single session is a write-off. The wind is locked in from the north or north-northeast, and it’s blowing cross-onshore or onshore at 12 to 22 mph, keeping the surface chopped and lumpy. There’s no relief, no morning glass-off, nothing.
The swell is there, but it’s hopeless. It’s mostly small, around 3 ft to 5 ft, coming from the north or northeast, with short periods of 6 to 9 seconds. That combo means weak, messy, wind-affected waves that just aren’t worth paddling out for. The combined energy of all swells is mostly in the 100s (weak to moderate), peaking at 327 (moderate) on the 21st of August, but even that’s ruined by the onshore junk.
Honestly, for a spot that’s a reef setup and prefers a clean offshore from the SSW, this is a total bust. The wind is all wrong, and the swell direction is never what you’d want. Even the bigger days, like the 5 ft on the 8th and 11th, are just messy with that cross-onshore wind. It’s not just bad for surfing; with that consistent wind and swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, no hidden gems here, no winning days. If you’re hanging out for a wave at Shooting Gallery, you’re gonna have to wait. Keep your eye on the charts, but this is a solid blank run for the area.
Rusty.
