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.

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.
