Table - best surf conditions forecast for Shooting Gallery over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook for Shooting Gallery is a frustrating one. We’ve got a 16-day window starting now, but honestly, there’s nothing good to surf. The whole run looks pretty grim.
We kick off on Wednesday, July 8th, and it’s a no-go. The swell is tiny, around 0.7ft to 1.0ft, coming from the WNW with a short, weak period of 8 seconds or less. The wind is a light cross-onshore, and the water temp is 72°, which is about average for the time of year. It’s just poor. That sets the tone. Thursday and Friday are the same story – a bit more wind, a bit more chop, but still lousy waves, with swell barely hitting 3ft to 3ft. Saturday isn’t any better.
There’s a slight pulse of energy around Sunday July 12th, with the combined swell energy hitting 163 in the morning and 175 in the afternoon, and the swell picking up to 3ft from the NNW, but the period is still a weak 8 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore. It’s still getting marked as poor surf. Monday July 13th sees a bit more size at 3ft from the NNW, with a slightly longer 9-second period, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and choppy. Still no dice.
The surf actually builds through the second week, but the wind totally ruins it. From Wednesday July 15th through to the end of the forecast, we see swell heights climbing from 4ft up to 6ft, with the combined energy getting strong, like 458 and 507, but it’s all coming from the north or north-north-east with a short, poor period of 5 to 8 seconds. And the kicker? It’s cross-onshore or onshore wind the whole time, from moderate to fresh breezes, making everything lumpy and chopped up. It’s all marked as poor surf conditions.
This place is a reef break, fairly exposed, and it ideally needs swell from the NNW. We get some of that direction, but the wind never plays ball. Even when the size gets big enough for experts, over 5ft and up to 6ft, the onshore wind would make it a messy, blown-out mess. Honestly, with all that wind and chop, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, there you have it. Nothing on offer for the next 16 days. A total blank run. Sometimes the area just goes quiet, and this is one of those times. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.

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.
