The Lowdown
Alright, let's not sugarcoat it. The next 16 days are a total dead loss for Shooting Gallery. I'm looking at the charts and there is just no good surf on offer. The swell is constantly coming from the north, which is cross-onshore here, and the wind is blowing from the north or northeast almost the entire time. It's going to be a mess.
The first week is dominated by north-northeast wind at 15-19 mph, making things choppy and cross-onshore. The swell is there, around 4-5 ft, but it's short-period windswell, only 6-8 seconds, so it'll be jumbled and without any real punch. The wave energy is weak to moderate, maxing out in the 300s on the 7th and 8th, but it's all for nothing with that wind. The second week doesn't improve – still the same wind direction, still cross-onshore, and the swell stays around 3-5 ft. The 15th and 16th see a slight bump in energy, but the wind is fresh and lumpy. It's just not happening.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
There is one tiny glimmer on the 19th morning when the wind drops to a light breeze at 6 mph, but the swell is still only 3 ft with a 9-second period, and it's still rated as poor. It's a classic case of "so close, yet so far." The 18th morning is similar with a gentle breeze, but again, the surf is still poor.
Honestly, with this persistent north wind and onshore swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you're desperate, you'd be better off finding a sheltered reef somewhere else, but for Shooting Gallery, the next 16 days are a blank. It's a consistent break, so it tends not to stay poor for long, but this run is looking like a solid two-week-plus of nothing. Forecasts can change, but right now, I'd store the board and do something else.

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.
